I could understand this level of panic/frustration if we were a team like say, GB, who basically put a team out there with two time MVP and no WR and got thoroughly whooped for a full game. YES! Radical change is needed there, because their window is slamming shut. They need to worry about the now, and the down the road can sort itself out. 

News flash, we are not in the same boat as a GB. We're starting out. We're building. Give this team some time before you start slamming all the reset buttons within your reach.

"Building" ?  Lol so you don't expect us to win this week?  You think it's to early?  When do you think we should start winning games?  When you get your franchise QB, a SB winning coach, spend the most money in FA, draft 2 of the best players in the draft etc. I think we should beat a team like Wash.  Curious to see when you think we should start winning games?

I was on record multiple times in the lead-up to Sunday saying that I fully expected a close game, and that either team could win, but I also expected some stupid mistakes on the part of a young squad that hasn't played together for any significant period of time.

At this stage in our growth, I expect the team to be competitive. I was HOPEFUL for a win. At this point, I think that is the most we should be asking from a team that's won  4 of its past 34 games, has a completely new coaching staff, brought in a bunch of high dollar FA from other teams, and feature a roster peppered with rookies and second-year players.

Once we have a team that proves it is competitive and begins to consistently beat the teams it "should", then I could see expecting wins against teams that are either comparable or lesser to our own. We ain't KC. We're at the bottom, and still clawing our way up. We shouldn't expect to win against anyone at this point, unless somehow we schedule an exhibition against FAMU or some MACtion team.
