I have. Since FSG mentioned the winningest coach percentage statistic from yesterday. Coming back down from the ledge a bit after three close and competitive football games and one blunder. 

When people keep saying he's lost the locker room, I don't believe it. I actually believe Doug. I believe Trevor. 

If he had truly lost the locker room, how do you go from that beatdown in Buffalo, on a short week, with rough weather to practice in, back on the road to Houston, and you had the same situation essentially with the lead in the second half from a combination of week 1 and week 2?

So much BS out there right now from the media and armchair analysts spit balling nonsense on X/Twitter. This team has been hit hard on defense with injuries. This offense has lost a primary role player in Engram. They're getting good output from second year players in Strange and Bigsby. They're getting a little bit better each week in blocking across the board. 

All of this was self evident in Houston. So, time to relax a bit. I truly feel they're fixing to win at least the next three football games and we'll go from there when they're back in the states with a 3 - 4 record. It's baby steps at the moment. You're in a hole, it's big, but, it's not impossible to climb out of. 

Get back to .500 and the media will be like Lucy with some splainin' to do.
