Chill Before You Post and Think Before You Start a New Thread

I don't think its time for panic mode like many of our fans seem to think and i think a lotta the problems we saw today are fixable issues or extraneous circumstances (dropped passes, injuries, turnovers lost, etc) BUT some things that I don't think can be fixed this season that are keeping us from going "over the edge" are...

- Hyde/Jekyll phenomena- in our losses (or rather in the second half of our losses) we have looked like a COMPLETELY different team than in our wins. And i even mean from an emotional standpoint. I don't know which skins team we will see after a good first half anymore and that has gotta stop if we are going to be a dominant team. That usually requires a year of cohesion and maturity as a team to develop.

- Game/Clock mismanagement- i don't think we can fix this during the season b/c of the time needed to fix the problem. We don't have the luxury of two or three days during the regular season practice schedule to work on two minute offenses and gametime signal calling...we might have had a couple during the bye week but that was squandered.

I still think we are a good football team and should have a good shot at making the playoffs. On the plus side the NFC is weak and so is our schedule. Also JC's development is coming along nice, it would've been nicer to see him engineer a game-winning come from behind victory but oh well. The bottom line is, we are what our record says we are and we have to just look forward.
