Quote:I don't need to google Journalist because I know what they are, and it's a very specific job field that has very specific training.  You're the one struggling here.

 

Most of the people you're talking about in the media aren't credentialed journalists.  A communications degree doesn't make someone a journalist.

 

Considering the average point differential in the NFL, losing by a FG or a TD is pretty much the standard.  Again, Lose big, lose small, win small, win big.  The team isn't getting blown out of games like they were a year or two ago except for the NE game, which is the anomaly. 

 

The team had opportunities last year and failed, but in most instances, they were done by the 4th quarter.  That's not the case this season. 

 

It's frustrating for fans because the wins aren't coming, but considering the circumstances in each of the losses this year, we're not that far from hopefully turning the corner.  It may or may not happen for Gus.  We'll see what transpires the rest of the way.  Nobody is lauding his coaching prowess at this point. 

 

I don't think Gus is trying to "save face" at all.  I think he recognizes that the mistakes that are costing them games are unacceptable.  I think he's probably more frustrated than Joe 6 Pack sitting on his couch calling into shows complaining about how he needs to be fired.  At the end of the day, this is his livelihood.  If the players aren't taking the coaching and applying what they're being told to do to improve their play, there's only so much a coach can do.  If they look great in practices, and seem to be getting it, but they freeze up when the lights are on, there's only so much coaching is going to do to fix that.

 

Bradley's job is absolutely in jeopardy.  If the team doesn't start to show it's turning the corner this year, he's done.  Simple as that.
