One week, one month, three years, it's all selective endpoints anyway.

I believe the team was awful today. I also think this is the first time all season tebteam has looked completely flat from start to finish. So I'm not going to slit my wrists over it. But what do I know. I'm just a kool-aid drinking apologist

Well, if we completely ignore weeks 2-4, then I agree with you about the team looking good all season until now.

The problem is the bigger picture. We're probably going to look awful three more times the rest of the year. We're probably going to be competitive in five or six more games. We'll probably even win three of them. But some people are going to see progress out of that where there is no progress.

Thanks for not actually reading what I wrote. Completely flat from start to finish.

Moo! Aside from Griffin and Morris highlights, those games haven't inspired much confidence either. We lost all those games (except for a miracle run by RGIII vs Minn.) for many reasons.

(I think firing Shanny before 5 years would be stupid, too.)

Indeed, the whole team was flat only today. The coaching, however, has been flat (if flat means woefully outmatched) in all but two games this season. One game was against a guy who's never really coached before (New Orleans) and the other against a pretty bad team (Bucs).

It was a fluke. 3 passes. 2 of those passes were over 50 yard YAC. Look at the game and the stats and come back and tell me exactly how amazing Tebow was. Which is why he got curb stomped by New England.....AND he got traded that following off-season. You really aren't helping your case here.
Tim Tebow stunk was my point. The fact they were able to make the playoffs and than beat Pitt with Tebow was a credit to the rest of the team! It completely helps my argument.
Edit: Tim frikkin Tebow was not meant in a complimentary fashion. Lol

Okay, I'll say it without pulling punches. You'd have to be some kind of moron to give Shanahan five full years.

There's probably more morons here than non-morons. (I'm one too)

I understand the anxiety though. I just don't think anyone could do better with what we have right now.
