People are just witch hunting Edwards and Fairchild in here. We clearly lost the game at the LOS, nothing more, nothing less. They pushed us around, J. Lewis ran the ball down our throats for 163 yards. Our o-line got blown up by run blitzing LB's all day. But because Edwards missed a few throws in horrendous winds he is not the answer and our FO should be making plans to draft a QB? Seriously folks, get a grip, we were manhandled, this loss is not on TE. I find it amazing that there were no turnovers in this game.

Re: Moronic Threads Today
we are what we are... 7-7 team with no playoffs. Fans *****, coaches suck, players make millions to be average.
Go to ANY fan site on the net (except NE) and you will see a mirror of Billszone.
Who Cares.In my day we did not have self-esteem... we had self-respect, and no more of it then we earned. -
Re: Moronic Threads Today
why do people think the Fairchild criticism is JUST about this game? Fairchild's been making awful play calls for his entire tenure here, and yesterday was just one of many examples. He blew it yesterday just like he's done pretty much every other game. Good riddance.Originally posted by HAMMERComment

Re: Moronic Threads Today
par for the course on this board. Billszone has always been ***** 1st, think rationally 2nd.
considering the amount of players who have been put on season IR, the experience we traded, released or lost in FA, going 8-8 is a heluva accomplishment.

Re: Moronic Threads Today
I see... we can't expect the same results that other NFL teams expect. We should just be proud to get to 8-8. The Super Bowl or making the playoffs? No, we can't be judged by those standards. We should be happy for making .500.Originally posted by ddaryl

I can buy the "we're getting better" logic- I'm hesitant because of the number of times we've failed to improve in the past, but there is some reasoning and evidence to suggest that this team is getting better.
I can't buy supposed "fans" being "proud" of failing to reach the playoffs for 8 straight years, a .500 record, choking in the Dallas game, choking in the Denver game, choking in the Cleveland game, etc... we didn't overachieve. We were a handful of plays from making something happen this season and we blew it when it counted most. That's something that should invoke feelings of frustration from people who want this team to win- not feelings of pride.Comment

Re: Moronic Threads Today
Since we lost the game at the LOS, which I agree with, along with the piss poor coaching again, do you think it's possible to draft some big d-lineman and a center so we don't continue to get our heads kicked in next year.
Wide receivers and safeties are nice but they will never win until the can control the los.Comment

Re: Moronic Threads Today
Your logic here makes sense and I understand your feeling this way. I will go on record as saying that I am both frustrated and proud. Most people didn't pick us to win 7 games at the beginning of the year. That was before the injuries and before the QB shuffle. I don't think this team necessarily overachieved, but I feel that they played to their ability on most days. That says a lot for Jauron whether we like him or not. The coordinators call the plays and a good head coach has to let them do their jobs even when things are going bad. The head coach has to have the team ready to play. I think people are on different pages with this particular phrase. "Ready to play" doesn't mean ready to out-execute. That's the job of the coordinators. Put them in positions to succeed. What I mean is effort. Belief in one another. Like him or not, the players would run through a brick wall for Jauron and for eachother. You can see it with team. It's been a long time since we've seen consistant effort like that all year. That doesn't automatically equal success as we know, but we're certainly on a better path than we have been. Next year is year 3 of the new regime. That's all I personally ever asked for. Give them a fair shake. 3 years. We've re-built. Like it or not, it takes time. If we're not respected by then, I have no problem with going in another direction. Of course then we can't expect the next regime to implement a new system, get their guys, etc and make it work all of a sudden. That will take time too.Originally posted by OpIv37
Edwards struggled yesterday. So did Anderson. Both teams had drops yesterday, but we had more. The differences in that part of the game were two-fold. Cleveland had balls, we didn't when it came to playcalling and Cleveland's receivers made a few big, timely catches. Ours didn't. In weather like that you're going to have drops and your QB isn't going to have a high completion percentage. It is what it is. However, you have to have some marbles. Cleveland, who sucks against the run was able to stack the box because we barely threatened to throw for most of the game. Edwards absolutely struggled with some passes, but we have to throw medium range passes to loosen the defense. We didn't. A couple of deep attempts and a bunch of dump-offs doesn't get the job done. No guts on Fairchild's part. Throw a 7-15 pass every now and then. They were open. Godd riddence as far as I'm concerned. I even gave him props last week for finally taking chances at the right time, etc. Pi$$ on him.
I still think Lee Evans is legit. Of course we need a big WR and a TE to complete this offense. I like Josh Reed as the #3. I think he's proven to be valuable this year. Roscoe is a nice 4th WR and excellent punt returner. We don't have a legit #2 and we've all been saying that all year. Steve Smith isn't having as explosive a year as he has in recent years. He's got a lot of catches, but for short yardage. Why? Maybe no Keyshawn, or Muhammad before him, to not only take pressure off him, but to be the big WR to go up for grabs in the middle, in the red zone, and in bad weather. Of course, a nice TE will always be of value to a QB.Comment

How about those Saints and Jets? Are we still holding them as examples on how you can turn it around in a year?
