Quote:And all you have to do is look back to last year after we got beat even harder than we did against s.d., when new England wringed our necks. We lost really badly and still were in a position to win the division. I can't count the number of times posters on here said, and I quote,


"The d will be better, they just need some time to gel."


I'm not defending wash or gus, I'm defending our players. I truly believe it will happen guys. And let's not forget how many of us said we expected 8-8 or 9-7, it's only been 2 weeks, and the first week we looked pretty good against a pretty good team, and then we have a really bad game in a part of the country where we historically have bad games and everyone's world on here is crashing and burning.


Jeez guys

I mean, it's nice to see someone who still has hope. I won't even get into the comparison between New England and San Diego. New England is one of the elite teams in the NFL... they were expected to whoop us. The San Diego game? Very winnable game, atleast I thought. Especially after the positive performance against Green Bay. However, GB isn't the team we thought they were, so I'm sure if we can look back at it as a "moral victory" anymore. Plus, we are passed moral victories. It's time for Gus to put up or shut up, and that San Diego game was just so demoralizing, even to a usually patient fan like me. We started the game very uninspired. Team played unprepared, and Gus was thoroughly outcoached.


I agree with you, I expected a little bit of struggle with all the new guys on defense, but I wasn't expecting a blowout. Our team might be adjusting to each other, but we should be past the blowouts.


A win vs Baltimore would atleast give us a little hope back, but as of right now, I don't trust Gus to get the job done.
