Since it looks like Philbin will be staying (yes that can still change but I doubt it)
Its clear that there will be 2 different groups here.
Those who already realize that & are convincing themselves that they are OK with it because maybe they took another shot of the kool aid for new years.
And those who have realized that just because the owner makes his decision you can still dis agree with it & criticize this team & still be a fan.
While my opinion has been he is staying , its for the wrong reasons. Clearly there are grounds to fire Philbin , I just think Ross will not do it at this time. Until he can get a football guy to aid him , all his real estate knowledge will not help this team.
I just cannot believe we are not playing this weekend. That is as much on the players as the staff. But you cannot fire all the players. Just wonder what the opinions will be when everyone comes back except Sherman & Turner.
Ya it seems the nature of today's fans is to byotch about damm near everything.. you just can't keep everyone happy.. i hope people on the site remember that in the end we all want the same thing...
I too have a hard time with the fack that we are donr for the year.. this team came out looking great .. got nailed by all the locker room BS.. adjusted and again looked solid... We had to fight like hell.. how many last min come from behind wins did out QB put together? This kid will be a great QB 1 day.. NOBODY can take the beating he took and be as sharp as they were on day 1...
Just because he didn't show it.. does not mean it was not affecting him...
3 weeks ago there was talk about joe being coach of the year because of what he had worked through... guess what it caught up with us.. we fell short...
the way we lost is what did it for most fans.. come on We allowed the Jets to take us apart.. we allowed Rex ryan to use us to save his job.. i don't think his job was in danger at all BTW.. Still all of us ould have loved to beat the jets get in the playoffs and send rex ryan packing... We sucked when it counted the most.... Off ,def, coaching... Its a huge pill to swallow... it is also all on the heels of some crazy crazy times...... The martin thing.. the o-line... the sacks...
The lack of any run game at all.......
You want to get more pissed off.. go take a look at the list of teams we play next year.. I just posted it...
I like Joe.. I hope he stays another year or 2... I hope Ross lets him have a real shop at building the team.. cause i just can't handle another Rebuild... that's is 100% all we have done since Don left.. rebuild... hire "Football Guys" watch them fail rinse and repeat... if I hear "3 year plan" one more time I may lose my mind...
Let the coach work his plan.. give him time... same with our QB fix the damm o-line... let him play a season where maybe he is not 1/2 mind dead from taking so many hits... I 100% think that some of the extra time it takes for him to get rid of the ball was because he got hit so damm much.... Jay cuttler like play... another season or 2 like that and we won't have to worry IF RT is the QB we all want him to be... he will take that 1 hit sooner or later that ends his playing days...
In the end to me it all comes down to The o-line... and as much as I want Joe to build his team ... I think he better get his head out of his a$$ when it comes to the o-line..... but i am very sure that he will not make that mistake again....
as for our def.. 1 day we are amazing the next we get walked on.... thats just not our norm...
not sure where the fix is..... I love that we hired a 3rd team guy from another team and he was the def player of the week .. someone found a sleeping gem... just saying
