I know most people are getting excited about the season. And contrary to what a few others think, it's totally acceptable to be excited and have high expectations at the start of a new season.
But others think we have no shot because of the losses of Spikes, Fletcher, Clements and McGahee!.
Then it hit me last night. Although these guys that we got rid of had a ton of talent, we won NOTHING with them. And they let us down every time we had a big game.
Is it really a loss when we get rid of 4 guys that couldn't win and we replace them with younger/hungrier players?
Where was Clements against J-ville in the 04 opener?
Spikes has played maybe 8 games in the past 2 years and had 1 Sack and 1 forced fumble all of last year.
Maybe Fletcher and Spikes could have tackled Willie Parker in week 17 vs. Pittsburgh or tackle Young at the end of the first half on Christmas Eve last year.
Why did Willis not get the 4th and 1 in New England in week 1 last year and then not seem to care about it.
In fact, Willis didn't care about anything.
Spikes has never been on a good team.
And it's perfectly normal and acceptable to have loved these guys and to have stuck up for these guys while they were here, but then to see their faults after they leave.
Let's not act like we lost Joe Montana, Deion Sanders, Emmitt Smith and Charles Haley. (Guys that won just about everywhere they were).
We gave these guys chance after chance after chance to come thru for us and they failed each time.
Esp. in 2004, when we actually had a good team and these guys couldn't get it done.
Out with the old and in with the new! I'm ready to move on.
And that's a 180 from the start of the off-season when I wanted to resign our own guys.
and again, it's OK to change your mind.
