I don't think its so much panic as it is just tired of sucking for so long. We kinda got a taste last year of what winning is like, got our hopes up. Just to for us to be crushed, looking like the teams of old. I don't have much faith in Baalke, but I do have faith in Doug Pederson or at least up until recently. I'm starting to scratch my head with this whole play calling debacle. Crossing my fingers everything gets squared away and we are back on track within a week or 2.

I remember after 2017 and the whole Miles Jack Wasn't Down, the entire media loved us.

They thought we were going to be SB contenders.  It was week 2 and we had the Patriots at DUUUUVALL!!!!  And we smoked them.  We absolutely kicked tom brady and Belicheat up and down the the field.  It was glorious.  It felt like we had turned the corner...  Doug Marrone was our HC and he seemed to have fixed everything.  And guess what, it was pretty much down hill from there.  Marrone turned out to be a wet blanket of ineffectivness.  We had a trash OC called... Guess what?  Nathaniel Hackett!  Hackett only could be successful by having a hall of fame QB that he let run the show and a great organization that knows how to draft Linemen and hire head coaches - And he still couldn't get to the SB!!!!  

This year was supposed to be different.  This year was supposed to be us having a real HC that knows football and puts winning ahead of everything else.  And yet we now have a Nathaniel Hacket OC that our "savior" Head Coach is trying to build up.  We have a Defensive Coordinator that has several 1st round draft picks that are under-performing.

And we're supposed to be optimistic about all this?

Naw.  We've seen this movie before.  When I heard the crowd booing at the end of the first half against Houston, I nodded in agreement.  This team is suspect.  Does anyone really think we're gonna beat Atlanta on Sunday?  I don't.  

We're just not good enough.  I thought we were.  But I guess that was my fault for believing 1010XL and all the paid personalities and shills and suckers that fall for nonsense.  We're 1-2.  If we can't even beat Atlanta...  What are we?
