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!
A Perfect Time To Point Out The Problem With Our Football Team
Again it's what I am alluding too. They have killer instinct when times become most desperate. We have seen this time and again year after year. They are professionals and can muster up a good game in desperation. If only they could do that in earlier games and get more wins that desperation would not be make or break. This is where Ingtar is saying the on the field leadership is missing to get the consistency required in the NFL to have winning seasons. And then we have a boneheaded coach shooting us in the foot as well...
Even Nix said they play as if there's no sense of urgency. Maybe they do but they certainly don't do it for 4 quarters.
Re: A Perfect Time To Point Out The Problem With Our Football Team
Yep, and to me this clearly is an issue with preparation. They just don't seem to be able to find the right zone of a mental state in the preparation process to perform at that high level consistently despite what transpires in a game. The teams that do that are the winners and the ones that don't are the losers.

Mario was prepared to play vs. the texans due to the media. Then he disappeared again last sunday. The only one who is consistently going 100% every game is Kyle. I think we need to ask Mario for a pay cut and give the 100 to Kyle.
Re: A Perfect Time To Point Out The Problem With Our Football Team
I really don't think these people are motivated by money. They spend their whole lives giving everything they have to prepare for Sunday's in the NFL. They want to be successful. The money part comes in when you talk about how much money the game is really bringing in and who gets what. But the motivation to go out there and put yourself on the line to win? Does not come down to dollars and sense. The only case I can think of where it might is in a contract year where a player might take more chances with his body to secure a better future...

Dollars and cents*, and Kraft doesn't suit up on Sunday. His team does, and the gentlemen he pays to be zebras do as well. This league is so biased it's pathetic.
People being paid huge money to play a game should need no motivation beyond their over inflated paycheck.
Unfortunately, money is a poor motivator. But professionals should be self-motivated. The problem is that a lot of these guys are "professionals" only by virtue of receiving that inflated paycheck. The trick is to find the guys that have the professional attitude. This was how our Super Bowl teams were built. That attitude has been lost.
Re: A Perfect Time To Point Out The Problem With Our Football Team
the problem is they are individually motivated but not motivated as a team. That is the point I am trying to make. If you are making the jump that they are paid well thereby they should be motivated as a team I just don't buy it. The team needs glue that does not exist because it's a weak culture. And after today I get the feeling that Ralph might not be the problem that Russ Brandon is in Ralphs aging years. The organization is all business and no passion. The players from day one are reminded of the business aspect but what about the teamwork and camaraderie required to win? And that is going to be a meeting of the minds between ownership, management, coaching and players that synthesizes a winning attitude on the field from the opening kickoff to the last game of the season. We don't have it. Things are out of whack at OBD.
