There was a lot to complain about in the second half, no question... But can we please celebrate the food things that happened without being made to feel guilty about it? We desperately need a shot of positivity around here. It's become a vacuum of sadness, depression and anger.

There was a lot to like in that game, mostly in the first half.... But man that second half was, to quote @17to85, "pants on head" stupid in a lot of places...

It's so ******* embarrassing to watch Crum nickel and dime us....

Are you advocating for this?

There are some that think Brady is playing injured with a buggered shoulder...

Still a lot of questionable ****, and I'm not gonna get excited until we see how the adjustments go..... But it's a start. Agreed that Allen at Safety makes a world of difference. Allows a lot of other guys to go back to their natural position. OL seems better... Still some SEEMINGLY questionable calls out there, but no way to know who's actually making the calls or if it's User Error or what... If we can somehow continue this and finish how we started.... I'll maybe get a little bit more optimistic. He WOULD be excited about that... He made a living on those grabs in traffic and taking a solid whack.

I feel absolutely sick to my stomach about this game....

No kidding eh? Jesus. 2 KR TDs in a single game is a once in a career -type thing. If he can catch the ball on the fly consistently and get upfield, I'll call it a win. He's shown more than enough as a returner to earn our faith so far.

I never believed that Sheahan was the problem some people thought he was... But he's definitely been really good this year. Vaval is more than fine for a first year returner at the pro level... And we know that Logan is really good when healthy. I'm not concerned about the specialists at all. OL/DL.... Reload there and everything else starts looking a lot better.

The final one?

MBT to the 6 Game, so the Als sign Cameron Dukes...

Among other things, I really don't love Vaval playing corner and returning kicks... That seems like a recipe for mediocrity (at best) at two positions... Dude is gonna be gassed.

Ya that was my thought too... First time I've heard the players say anything other than "it's all on us to play better"... It was small, but even a little bit of "everyone, including the coaches, needs to be better..." really stood out to me

It would be an incredible feat to sell out an entire year, but if they keep losing...

@WinnipegGordo anything from practice yet this week? I ditched the Nazi network, so I haven't seen any updates...

100% this... There's so much hindsight involved. Absolutely the risk backfired in the worst possible way, but at the time....... I don't fault management at all for the decision th y made at the time. To a lesser degree, I feel the same way about Dru Brown. Coming off the 2022 season, you were never not going to keep Collaros. He was murdering teams and still relatively young in QB terms.

Demski...

Also, I don't think Wade would ever leave a thing in the state it's currently in. He's gonna wanna go out on top with everything more or less fixed for a long time to come. As for the other 2 legs of the Trinity... They usually don't sign a new contract until the last one is up. The "no contract" is a non issue.

Just Neg list but they're definitely trying to find some DBs since we're so beat up....

Sterns would be a great option after a healthy Schoen and Lawler .. with Demski and Clercius. That's a receiving corps. But again, I have no interest in bitching about what can't be fixed. I love the conversation about where we go from here and fix it within this season.

I'm a fan of bringing Allen on at Safety... What does our secondary look like with him there? Who goes where?

Ya from what I saw/heard, I actually didn't think Zach was bad... But he had **** to work with all around him. Line, receivers, play calls... Tough to work with that.

Personally I don't love the whining about coulda woulda shoulda.... I get it... We've beaten that to death. There's nothing you can do to go back and fix the past. I'm much more interested in how we fix it NOW....

Mike, you say the word and we'll start a drunken podcast.... Only good things will come of that I'm sure.
