All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
just a thought, but the team lacks fire.... bring back merriman?
Re: just a thought, but the team lacks fire.... bring back merriman?
I agree. I thought he showed more heart and talent in the few snaps he played last year than anyone on this defense with the exception of Bradham. Everyone is going to say he is a injured bum and no other team wanted him but he is a veteran that played like his hair was on fire. Use him on 3rd down and as a leader in the locker room.
Re: just a thought, but the team lacks fire.... bring back merriman?
THIS IS WHAT I LITERALLY DONT GET. it's mind boggling. how did wanny go from a top 10 d-coordinator, well respected defensive mind who has had top defenses, to worse then george edwards???? wtf?
i mean, if the d would have played like a top 10 unit, maybe we beat the pats and maybe we lose closer games to the jets and 9ers... we would be 3-2 with a totally different mindset.
i think that was the plan all along.
let fitz and the o do their thing, and play great d...
Re: just a thought, but the team lacks fire.... bring back merriman?
Secondary sucks, linebackers have sucked for years and they refuse to draft upgrades, and Wanny hasn't been NFL relevant for over a decade. Pretty easy to understand. All he wants to do is play simple man coverage and rush 4. This isn't the 70s.

but dude, how does shepp, bradham, moats, williams, searcy all suck.
is the drafting that bad? i mean, come on...
wanny may be old, but seriously, the game is not that different from the early 2000 miami ds that were awesome...
Re: just a thought, but the team lacks fire.... bring back merriman?
I liked Merriman to and i think he got screwed. He was a major part of the supposed 2012 team, and i wonder if players were pissed we let him go. We give that guy so much hype till the last day, then cut him? It just seems stupid.
Not here to be right, just here to have interesting discussions about my impulsive opinions
Re: just a thought, but the team lacks fire.... bring back merriman?
They hyped him because he's a name that people recognize. Fans aren't going to come out and watch because we have Donald Jones on the roster. This is the type of **** they've been pulling for years.
Lets get Stroud, who was on the decline. Same **** with TO, Merriman, and now Mario. Get a big name every few years and show the fans you're trying, even though they draft like ****, have a **** front office, castoff HC, and terrible coordinators. "We tried!"

i just dont get it... how can a team be this bad for this long with the way the nfl has changed
Because Ralph hires horrible people for the cheapest that he can get in the front office and coaching staff. The front office hires the coaches, drafts the players, signs/re-signs players. All of the decisions are made from the top down and are the most important part of the team. If you lack a credible front office then you end up with horrible coaches, drafts, etc.
