While the colts were coming back and before Hurns made me feel better, I truly believed that we were going to lose another game after leading. That's a feeling I have too often with gus as HC.

Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

What a shocker that he'd start this thread.


A damn shocker, I tell you.


Eeyore at his finest.

Quote:It's just meh, for me. Yeah, we won. But dude. We're 1-3 with no end in sight.


Now if we beat Chicago, and get to 2-3, I might start feeling better about the whole season. At this point I'm just apathetic to the whole thing. It's good that we got a win. Woopie!!!


But we're 1-3 and will more than likely keep Gus for the rest of the year. Anyone that is "excited" or whatever is much less cynical than I am. I envy those people. But I'm just not there.


Winning a game that makes us 1-3 with the worst NFL coach in history just doesn't move the needle for me at this moment.

This is how i feel. But apparently you're a troll if u do.

No. Your words were 'feels like a loss'. Where does he say that Eeyore?

Quote:its the undisciplined thing . if they could clean it up , could feel confidence. perhaps thats what they work on during the bye

Yes.  

 

I'll never moan about a win.

 I want them to win every game and the chips can fall where they may for Bradley's future, but this undisciplined play has been a clear trend for way too long now.  I excused it in year one, but much of last season and every game of this one has been riddled by stupid penalties, multiple blown assignments, and boneheaded decisions. 

 

It's got to get cleaned up.  This team would be so much more competitive if they literally just cut the number of dumb mistakes by half.

Less than halfway through the first quarter, the team had 50 yards in penalties without even a Pass interference call.


That is a most annoying and tiresome hindrance.

It feels like a win.


It doesn't feel like a loss at all.


Not even a little bit.

We bested a division rival 4000 miles from home. Even if there were some ugly moments.

That feels just fine to me.

I'm actually with BkylnJag on this one.

 

While I'm happy to have the win, especially over the Colts, it doesn't really FEEL like a win to me.

 

When we were up 20-6, I couldn't even get excited about it.  There was just that feeling the entire time that we were going to blow it.

 

At the end of the game, when Luck for some strange reason decided to chuck the ball forward instead of simply falling down for the first... it took a minute or two for it to set in that we had basically just won the game.

 

And then reality hit...

 

Gus will remain for the entire season, now.

 

And I didn't feel very good about that. 

 

The reality is, we barely beat a TERRIBLE team.  I'll take the W, but I'm not going to sit here and pretend like it makes me think we've turned some corner or something.  I still honestly expect somewhere between 3-5 wins this year. 

 

Sure, we played GB Close.  As we've seen, they're not the GB we're all used to, and they're honestly not as good as their 2-1 record right now.  They may turn it around (With Rodgers, there's always a chance), but it made it LOOK like we were competitive against a Super Bowl contender.

 

The now 1-3 and embarrassingly bad Chargers absolutely dominated us.

 

The Ravens are, without a doubt, the worst 3-1 team in the league.  They're pretenders who have squeaked by an incredibly weak schedule.  They barely got past the Browns and the Jags...

 

Yes... we beat the Colts, and that's cool... but anyone who watched that game has to now realize just how bad the Colts are.

 

 

I just... don't feel excited about the win.  We barely held on against a terrible team, and now we go into the Bye with the attitude being apparently "It's all fixed!"

 

I have a feeling Chicago is going to put up 50 on us.

Quote:Im happy about the win but it always comes as a struggle. Team is still undisciplined with a million penalties and really believe Gus should still be fired tomorrow. Same thing against Buffalo last season in London. We need a new staff to maximize the talent we have.

Because it's the only way you know how to live your life. Being a negative Nancy has got to get old after awhile. Maybe you're just a very unhappy person.

Where are you getting that?  ^  

 

I've not seen that sentiment anywhere regarding this team from any board poster, player, coach or reporter.

Only one play got me worried about that. You can probably guess which one.

Yes it does. Just like some losses have pretty moments (although none of them make us like losing, of course), every win has an ugly moment. Yesterday there were not many of them.

Otherwise we were pretty good in the first quarter.

I find it funny that if you look through this thread, for the most part, it's the usual suspects who are complaining about a win.  It's like they just need to find something to be miserable about, even when the team beats a division opponent.

This has been the case since those posters joined the forum.

One positive thing about the Jags win yesterday: the Colts, who play twice a year, are trash. Luck may be a very good QB, but he has absolutely no support around him.  Years of bad drafting have put that team in a position quite similar to the one the Jags were in when Caldwell took over.

 

If we were talking about an NFC team who we'd see once every four years, this wouldn't be a big deal. But this is a divisional rival, the former king of the hill of the AFC South.

In fairness to them, the team has been bad since 2008 and has been disappointing thus far this year. It's not as if it's a given the team has turned around its fortunes.

So you don't think it would have been a big deal if we beat the Packers? Uh, think again. Everybody was talking about how we almost beat one of the best QBs in the NFL, etc. Nobody said, "The loss was not too bad because Green Bay is in the NFC."

A loss? Boy bye. It feels like such a win, especially as Allen Robinson and Dele Alli scored at precisely the same time, blocks away from each other. My London, my mighty Tottenham Hotspurs, undefeated, taking down the country's best team, previously undefeated City. London is kind, international, exposed, majestic... Wait, what are we talking about again? Oh beating twinkies, South rival? First win in 10 months? Yeah right, loss my romp. I am a winner mate. Double wins, actually.
