That's fine and all. But reality is reality. I have been more than fair with my views over the last four weeks regarding this team's overall situation, especially showing fairness with Foles & Minshew. I ultimately pinned the blame on the front office and coaching staff for a wide variety of reasons but the most damning of them all is for the simple fact that they rushed Foles out into the line up during a pivotal stretch of games. 

Rust or no rust. He's been off with his throws and timing. Again, that's not his fault. That's on the coaches for not properly managing and assessing the situation. I personally feel that if they lose to Tampa this Sunday that they'll more than likely shut Foles down for the remaining four games and cite that he wasn't ready after that injury from week one. Which we all clearly saw in the last two losses. 

This offensive line struggled last year and they've struggled this year. Failing to add adequate depth with actual talent that excelled in the pass protection department has ultimately resulted in this year's shortcoming's. Failure to actually work these guys during training camp and preseason has reared it's ugly head as well. 

While I'll agree that some posters have flat out blasted Foles for making non-veteran like decisions with the football in his hands with time management in his favor, forcing passes into windows that weren't there or checking it down out of what appears to be fear instead of allowing the play to develop seem to be pretty reasonable to me. It's not like they're making it personal. At least not too personal. 

Plenty of criticism to go around. "how to fan" is a funny way of putting things though. Some of you on here have blinders on or love living along the teal coated river of denial. That's also fine. Maybe some of us are just tired of being a [BLEEP] embarrassment.
