I hate to loose as much as anyone. but seriously,, is cutting/trading everyone and bringing in new coaching in mid season gonna fix everything? I can't imagine
No it isn't, but it does allow us to blow off steam. We spend money to go see these assholes lose football games. We invest time watching the draft, going on-line and reading articles, and sitting in front of the television. We sit in traffic for hours while they give interviews about how bad they suck. We also have to eat humble pie at work. I'm surrounded by New York and Dallas fans. So eff these over paid babies.

After all is said and done, if the only thing I can complain about is a loser football squad, then life ain't bad.

When a team blows 160+ million on 3 FA (Haynesworth, Hall, Dockery) you would expect better performance.

If we win, will it be considered "blowing"?

Blowing money is what the Giants just did for Eli Manning.

Haynesworth will be worth it. Value-wise, we'll get the better deal.

I think you're focusing too much on the players and the FO and not the coaches. I find them all three parties (players, FO, and the coaches) equally at fault.

But at the same time you are being unrealistically to expect this team to have a good game every single time.

Can't blame the players for taking the money. You would too.

Correct, but assuming that certain players will play up to whatever contract you give them is 1950's logic and has no place in modern sports.

Good question. I'm just a sucker for pain I guess? It will not be too long before I go to another team, perhaps next year? What will probably happen is Zorn and Soup will get sacked and I'll get sucked into the whole new coach and QB thing. Again, I'm probably just a sucker for pain. It doesn't sting as much as it used to though. It's like Dale JR fans. They know their boy stinks but they're still behind him.

Question is if they don't kick them to the curb... Do you stay?

Good question. As much as I complain I probably will. Screw it. It's not the end of the world. This morning when I got up I said to myself, "Self, if the biggest problem you have in life is a garbage football team, you're living a charmed life". I try to be optimistic. There is nothing good about a loss. No sir, nothing.

In the game of Ham & Eggs, the chicken plays a part but the hog is committed. The way I see it, these boys are playing like chickens not hogs.

The game of ham & eggs? I never knew there was such a game. All this time I thought I had a great childhood, but now I find out I was missing out on 'the game of ham & eggs'? My whole world is shattered!

Well calling them assholes is stupid. It sounds like you've got issues. No one is telling you to spend your money going to games. That's your fault.
