Thanks again, Vinny!

The players were not ready to play against the Rams. No heart, no fire, but plenty of penalties and other bonehead errors. That is on the players and on the coaches and has little to do with talent.

You know what Lotus?.....If Shanahan is half the coach he's been credited with being, surely he's come to the realization by now that he inherited a crappy tean. He's going to have to work through the growing pains it's going to take to procure a winning roster.

One thing I've noticed that seems to be missing from Shanahan's demeanor is a little fire and demand for accountability. At the end of last night's post-game press conference he sounded as if he was ready to go pop a cork. No emotion when your team continues to puts on these dismal performances. Going forward, it will be interesting to see just how committed we'll remain to a work in progress.
