Joe, sorry to say, but this is a ill-fitted post. The point isn't - and never was - about this not being the all-time worst season. The reason their is legit cause for vexation is because this team had legitimate hopes and aspirations as a true contender.....and instead of those hopes seeming possible, the team is playing well-below expectations...WELL-BELOW. And we have a franchise QB who's window is closing. And who the hell knows when we will have another franchise QB when Ben hangs it up (We had a period of over 2 decades transpire from Bradshaw to our next franchise QB. We could be looking at another 20 years before we find another one; think about that.)
NONE of us who post here thought we'd be looking at 4-5 at this point, with 4 out of the next 5 games on the road. There is a legit cause for exasperation, whether you want to admit that truth or not. And with our QB coming out and saying the team lacks accountability and urgency, it is easy to say where the failure of this team lies: head coach. He has lost control of this team; they do not believe in him. He is not a leader of men. He offers nothing but words, no action. When your example of taking action is not allowing ping pong and air hockey, you are weak and feckless. No one fears that they have to be accountable for lack of effort or focus. Why? Because they don't. This coach is too busy being buddies with the players, instead of laying down the law, like Hoodie, Jimmy Johnson, Parcells, Noll, Gibbs, et al. He offers no substance, just catch phrases and cool shades.
