Yes. Why? The utter absence of hope.

It is a common current among everyone. In the past there was always a percentage of the fanbase that held onto the optimism that things would get better. Almost no one feels that way now and the situation continues to worsen. Not only are we not winning games, but we also aren't even competitive while simultaneously grinding down the best chance we've ever had with a #1 prospect at QB. The reason for that is in the last 10 years the fans and sports media have come to the undeniable realization that Shad Khan is simply a terrible sports franchise owner. If there is a bad decision to be made amongst a raft of better decisions, he can be counted on to make the bad decision. His concern is with the ledger sheets, not the win/loss record. He talks a good game, but he whiffs like Wingard. At this very minute everyone in the NFL world, experts and fans alike, can see that keeping Baalke on the payroll is scuttling this franchise deeper every day he is still here, yet Khan stands fast. To make a bad situation worse, not only is Baalke still in charge, but he's now making a recommendation for HC that everyone can see is clearly not the best choice.

Khan is the problem. I appreciate all he's done but he needs to come to the realization that perhaps he should allow someone else to make the decisions for the team. The organization of this franchise is in shambles and the one man who has the ability to make it better seems deaf to the din and frozen with ineptitude.
