The wheels haven't fallen off yet but I think we need to get our sh!+ together.
I work with a Failcon. As dirty as a bird can get.
We even that score and we are right back in it.
We don't look deep enough to go deep, but we are capable of some good football.

We have lost games at the very end or by small margins for 3 straight seasons, it didn't get cleaned up then and i have a hard time believing it will get sorted until we get rid of Payton and his buddies.

We lost those games because the defense couldn't stop anyone. You cannot argue the fact that the defense does look much improved.

Not going to argue because I agree, vs the giants and for 3 quarters of the Raiders game our D looked much, much better.

Tackling in the Giants game was very solid all around.

IT IS NEVER HOW YOU LOSE!!!

Dude its always about WINNING. You win or go home. Doesn't matter how you lose at the end of the day you get a number added to the L column.

Reasons/excuses or for losers.

This team needs to learn how to close and finish.

Two very winnable games.

No. How you lose is important in evaluating a team going forward.

Ah, but for our defense it is a 'win' just to be in the game in the 4th quarter.

It is to late for that.

I don't know what they were doing in the off season but adding O line and other players who you end up starting the week before your opening game is absolutely horrible.

They were behind from the begining.

They were not able to establish a winning culture in the off season and just was walking though the motions and didn't do what winning ball clubs do and that is be prepared for the start of the season.
