Quote:If we scored 30 points and lost, the sentiment would have been the same only directed towards the defense and our defensive minded coach not being able to win a game where we score 30 points.

 

Losses in the NFL are based on mistakes and missed opportunities. There are no such thing as acceptable losses for a team that has such a tough time winning.

 

Acceptable tough losses are for teams that have shown they can bounce back and overcome losses. Losing for us is a chronic condition and just another indication that we still have a problem.

I don't think so.  The fan base knows this is not our year.  This is supposed to be the year of improvement with next year being the big leap.  What we saw on the field this past Sunday was not improvement.  I for one am tired of seeing bubble screens, quick outs and an opposing defense that is playing on the balls of their feet because they do not respect a deep threat.  

 

I have stood by this franchise since day one but my eternal optimism has worn thin.  I want to see some improvement in the play on the field and did not see it against Carolina.  Hopefully it will be there against Miami this Sunday.
