You simply cannot make that kind of mistake.![]()
I especially disagree that Colston is not only the best but "hands down" the best WR we've ever had. That distinction goes to Joe Horn. Colston has stuck around a long time, which has allowed him to break his team records, and he's also had Drew Brees throwing to him. Think about that for a second. Colston has put up decent statistics in an era of offensive ecstasy. He's never been great. But my comments weren't really about where he ranks. He's got a fumbling problem and that is an indisputable fact. Period. |
If I had a nickel for every time I heard that, the NFL would fine and suspend me.

I give credit to the Defense for the play on Colston more-so than him fumbling, but we are splitting hairs here... |

Re: I am sure the sky will be falling around here
The Pats got their ass kicked today... do we really think they're not going to be very good?

Re: I am sure the sky will be falling around here
I'm concerned about Ryan's reluctance to adjust. OK, we all know our D line was supposed to be great against an allegedly bad O-line...however, when the true nature of the game comes into focus, you better send the house if that's the only thing masking your weak backfield play, or you will lose.
At that point the risk/reward is reversed. You can try something different to get off the field, or you can continue beating your dead-horse game plan until you're standing at the podium glad handing your opponent and trying to think of adequate excuses because you KNOW you f'ed it up. |

Re: I am sure the sky will be falling around here
The missed tackles was the most unbearable to watch. Even kv how is a sure tackle was missing tackles. Atl prolly has the best receiving group we will face all year but alot of stuff has to be cleaned up.

Re: I am sure the sky will be falling around here
This reminded me more of 2011 than 2012: game is close, Drew leads a game-winning drive, then the defense p***es it away.
I'll have nightmares of the SF playoff loss tonight since I didn't get to watch the game today. |
