Re: Six and Two!
 
all i can say is thank god they had a rookie QB or this would have been very very very ugly

we played like crap in all phases of the game.
Players
coaches
and i am sure a trainer had to do something wrong
just one of those days
on the road at playoff time does not look good

we stunk the joint up end of story

I have now had the misfortune of reading every post in this thread. If there was ever a thread that sums up everything I actually HATE about this board, it's in here. Why does everyone feel the need to attack everyone on their opinion? Is it not the difference in opinion that actually makes the board more interesting? I'm comfortable disagreeing with what people say because that sparks debate. But largely this is all pathetic finger pointing made by, what I assume, are grown men.

And let's also be very clear. It is ALWAYS the same people who crop up time and time again who are the worst offenders. I genuinely don't post here as much as I would like because I cannot be bothered with the responses I will get.

We're still odds on to win our division. I believe we still currently have the #2 seed as things stand in the NFC. We have the 49ers and Seahawks to play which allows us to shape our own destiny. We are still very much Superbowl contenders.

Green Bay has huge injury concerns.
The NFC East is a joke.
The Seahawks have got away with 2 games in a row.
The 49ers do look decent mind!

There are some good points in this thread, but overall it seams to have become a couple of members personal agenda.

And that's the rub...would we have to beat Seattle in Seattle twice?!?

But, it is funny to view fans' inability to conjugate their thoughts in a civil manner which may either be due to overconsumption of alcoholic beverages or regression to their cro-magnon/neanderthal tendencies...

However, there is cause for concern over the sloppy penalized play, lack of offensive balance and overall lack of physicality...

Watching Zach Strief give his postgame comments/interview pretty much summed up the whole pathetic performance...

The pattern is established. We don't have the 0-line talent or scheme to run the ball nor defend against a quality front 4. We don't have the health of key players to have consistency. We are still another year away from being super bowl contenders. If we make it to the playoffs, this would be a successful season. But we will have to hold on tight to do so. We could lose 4 of the next 5 and be second in the division (D, SF, SEA, CAR) and on the outside looking in on the second wild card spot. Not unreasonable given who we've beaten and who we've lost to. Throw in a quality win and maybe it will change.

In the two losses, we've had the ball at the end with fate in our hands. Good teams win. Great teams don't get into those situations. Bad teams do what we did.

I'll agree with that, provided we substitute "average" for "bad", eh? I'm always up for a compromise, ;). Close to 50% of NFL games this season have been decided by 7pts or less and many on the last few plays ... the bad teams don't get into those situations. :mrgreen:.

This.

Our goal for the year needs to be developing our rookies and avoiding career ending injuries. If we make the playoffs, great, but I'm not counting on it any more.

We draft O-Line big time in 2014 and hopefully get two more shots at a championship with Drew in 2014 and 2015.

You are constantly telling us how we expect too much and we "whine" after every loss, as if you have never said anything negative about the Saints. I don't think it's whining when I say I'm tired of losing to average teams. It's merely a statement.

Still want to look up the meaning of passive aggressive?

1. "pick your head up" is not calling anyone out, its what I would tell close personal friends after a loss (including my self)..... ESPECIALLY when I did not post it in anyone else's thread.
2. You still do not understand "Passive Aggressive". Passive Aggressive is using terms like "common sense", or "the facts" in attempt to end a conversation you don't care for. Passive Aggressive is obstructionism, and feel free to cite all the Jets loss threads that I went into and told people they were anything you stated above.
3. You must have me confused with someone else.
4. The team lost and people come here to vent by attacking forum members. That's not cool and its pretty uncalled for.

Regardless of how you or anyone else feels about me, beating around the bush, or being indirect is something I've never been accused of. I am pretty much in your face.
