Looking at the rest of the season...

Lol... the little toady. I want fundamental changes, back into a winning franchise, I don't care how we get there, but I want there to be hope next season, and for the future. Sacrificing two losing seasons for a continuously winning team is not a bad cost. Snyder has to want to change, if not we will continue to see this until he sells the team or dies.

I'm beginning to think the reason we go after all of these big-name free-agents is because the front office does not know how to properly draft players, so they compensate by going out and getting players that were once proven at the position. This problem is couched in the fact that we do not have a proper General Manager, thus when we do draft players its like throwing darts in the dark, sometimes you find gems like Chris Horton or Marko Mitchell, but you get a lot of busts, like Devin Thomas or Rod Gardner or Taylor Jacobs.

And there in lies the sad unfortunate reality! Plain & simple

I would start by playing Mason, Mitchell and benching Portis and ARE.

I would agree with this. I also think that losing close, gives the illusion this team is close. At one point I thought we were. After today, not so much. This offense resembles the Bad News Bears more than a professional football team.

Also why we don't often handle FA well, "oh he's a receiver" or "he's a safety" while completely misusing the player. We tried to make Arch a cover safety, etc.. our team sees positions, not schemes... too much oh he's a lineman, he can play any line position.. he's a linebacker, we only use 3, he should be able to handle any of those spots just fine, etc
