We are dangerously close to the kind of season where we're wasting a year of Jason Campbell's prime. We're lucky he wasn't hurt at the end of this awful mess of a game, and the O-Line injuries leave me very concerned about his safety back there. We can't risk J-Cam getting "David Carred"...

I'm not ready to jump off the bridge just yet. After the Giants game we all talked like it was the end of the world, and then after crushing the lions one game later, we all thought we were the front runner for the super bowl. Fact is, the NFC is weak this year and we can still easily get a playoff spot.
Our #1 priority is to get this O line healthy. We can't have 4th stringers in there and expect to make the playoffs.

Honestly, I didn't expect us to win this game, and anyone who was counting on this team to finish better than 9-7 would be borderline delusional in my book.

With the way the offensive line has been absolutely DESTROYED this year with injuries, chalk it up to more experience for Campbell. To be able to have a successful year without the entire starting right side of your offensive line says a lot about your QB.

David Carr has proven to be a bad quarterback period. A completely healthy, effective offensive line wouldn't have made a difference for him.

Well, 9-7 after a 2-0 start is just .500 ball. I expect us to play a little better than .500 ball in a weak conference with the defense finally playing the way we knew and expected it could.

My point was that injuries have taken their toll and a lot of players who depend on speed are just "off". Betts is playing really slow. I think we all agree Portis and Moss are both "off", and now ARE has come up gimpy with a hammy... you can't win too many football games with Cooley and McCardell.

My reference to David Carr was more related to the constant punishing hits the guy was taking because of a porous O-Line, not that he was some awesome QB who turned into a backup because he didn't win enough.

Why is that? We have just as good of a chance at being a 10-6 team as anybody else in the NFC. It's not that far out of reach.

Gibbs needs to put the fire in before the game and at halftime, not immediately after a 3pt loss

saden1 · 10-14-2007, 05:13 PM

Offense was bad cause they didn't execute. The line did a pretty damn good job considering how many backup players we have in there. The coaches called an awesome game for the most part.

Longtimefan · 10-14-2007, 05:28 PM

Our offense is pathetic "period" or our offense was pathetic today? Which one is it? I ask because no one thought the offense was pathetic last week, maybe it's because we won the game against the Lions. Each week we seem to struggle with the two extremes, winning and losing, when we win, all is well with the world, when we lose, all hell breaks loose. We've got to find a happy medium between the two extremes.

I know smack, we've been there so many times before, haven't we?

I jusr disagree that the offense was bad. Individuals made mistakes but the overall cogesion and playcalling was good in my opinion. Seriously we lost the gaem because we had an aversion to the ball individually. Not anything else.

Cowell · 10-14-2007, 06:34 PM

Was it really all of our coaches. We have always had some terrible clock management and I do have to say some of the play calling was pretty iffy, but our players have to try their best and we had so many dropped passes that would have been first downs on the 3rd it's not even funny.

The Zimmermans · 10-14-2007, 05:47 PM

when guys don't practice fully you cannot rely on them....should have run the ball more on third down

irish · 10-14-2007, 06:05 PM

The coaching staff is killing this team. They mismanage the clock, take a timeout and then call a 2 yd pass play when they need 3 for the 1st down.

There is a lot of talent on this team but the coaches stink.
