Quote:JIB, I admire your attempt to play the "father figure" around here by scolding those who "whine and cry", but what exactly have you seen that gives you any hope things are getting better?

 

I don't know where you get the "father figure" bit, but oh well.

 

As far as "scolding" those who whine and cry, it gets pretty old.  I suspect that many of the fans that whine and cry have not been watching NFL football as long as I have.  I also suspect that many have been brought up in the Madden/game age and/or they are used to college football.

 

I can't really put a finger on anything that I've seen that "gives me any hope than things are getting better", but you know what?  There is very little difference between a winning NFL team and a losing one.  I didn't like the loss this past Sunday, especially the way that it happened.  I think that the players are probably more embarrassed than the fans.  Something tells me that we'll see a different team on a national stage Thursday night.
