some perspective on the season so far

no adjustments, and no sense of urgency

NONE! :madani:

I agree with the general nature of this thread...the world is not coming to an end.

But, I see that Vikings loss being the difference between making or missing the playoffs. We should have won that hands down, even if the offense was unfamiliar with the offense and the Vikings are better than people expected.

i'm so tired of this big swing in playing. one week we look like we could be undefeated, and the next week they look like they could be winless. i'm just so tired of it!

Great post, Matty. I agree. And as bad as we looked in our losses, we know we can play well, and especially on D, that we can play better.

Also, as bad as our defense looked yesterday, we still only gave up 19 points. We have to do something against the long ball, but 19 points SHOULD have been low enough for our offense to do something with.

Will someone please HIT THE PANIC BUTTON!! SOMEONE?!?!?

If there was such a thing, now is the time to press it, not when it's too late.

The season is NOT over.. it's not cooked......yet.

However, we HAVE to get this team turned around RIGHT HERE!
If we want a chance to grab a wildcard at 10-6, we have to go 8-2! (assuming loss @indy). There is no time for working things out or giving things time to gel. GOTO PLAN B RIGHT NOW. Saunders needs to move pass this shuffle play offense thats now obviously been over exposed on film for too many weeks. ....And if he needs to make player changes to get his REAL offense executed then by ALL means get it done. This is no time to hold onto player's feelings and friendships. That time was on opening day when its "all good". WAKEUP!! RED ALERT!! MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!! Its all about survival now.

We need to get aggressive on offense AND defense. ATTACK ATTACK LIKE APACHES... Set the tempo, hit someone in the mouth, and then hit em AGAIN. We're playing scared AGAIN on both sides of the ball.. These players NEED TO GET MAD.. I see a bunch of pouters, and excuse makers in the lockeroom.

Someone better do "it" NOW because we are a handful of losses away from being out of the hunt, and there's still alot of games left!!

Maybe we should hit the Easy button?

If we looked at the first 5 games of the season back in August and tried to predict what would have happened, a 2-3 start probably wouldn't have been that far fetched of an idea.


I might have been a surprise of those that said the team's performance in preseason was nothing to worry about, don't you think?

Actually, I was on vacation last week, so I only caught the highlights of the Jags game. I didn't feel it would be fair to comment on anyone's performance when I didn't see the whole game, but what I did see from Brunell actually gave me hope. Then, wouldn't you know it. 100 passing yard... Woohoo.

Yep. And last year's popular excuse: "Brunell's got nobody other than Moss and Cooley to throw to" won't work this season.

i'm just worried about our in-conference and division record. i see us as having to go 8-3 or better (likely 9-2) to make the playoffs.
