Quote:It's the pass rush. And going back to your previous post, this is not college football. You aren't automatically worse than a team you lose to. The Patriots might not go undefeated this year, but that doesn't mean there is a better football team out there. We lost to HOU once but I think we split with them. We were the better team that day too. Unfortunately we couldn't get off the field on a couple crucial 3rd and longs (pass rush).

So if they have a better record than us and we lost to them, we are better than them? Got it.

 

 

Quote:Where did I claim that? This thread is about the future of this franchise looking incredibly positive. I have mentioned the coaching situation once in the entire thread when I said "I somewhat agree with the complaints about coaching, but either way this team is going to continue to develop". I just posted a stupidly long post in the giant Fire Gus thread if you want more detail.

 

You seem to be one of the many posters on here that has become so obsessed with Gus that you are now incredibly sensitive to the issue and think that any positivity about the team is a defence of Gus. People seem to revel in this 'apologists' versus 'the fire Gus brigade' thing... The truth is we all want the same thing, we all want victories. Why can't we all just get along?  :thumbsup: 

I'm not obsessed with Gus at all. I see the improvement in the offense (mainly due to Olsen I would assume) and I love the young core of players. That's why I want a great coach to lead this team. I don't (and many others agree) think that Gus is the guy to take us to the promise land which is the ultimate goal here.

 

Maybe he will save face and actually string together some wins here but I doubt it. He hasn't shown that he has the ability to win games that are winnable.
