do or die

Bah, the Blue gassed their own playoff hopes, this last month.....

One non-playoff team watching.....two non-playoff teams playing....

Well it appears we did this better on one side of the ball, than the other

This is the biggest thing to me. Our receivers aren't good enough, we can't seem to find an impact player on the opposite side of Westerman on the DL, the OL has been changing players constantly for the entire time Walters has been here. We've had a bunch of good rbs but none that have really grabbed the job by the balls and taken it. For my money this roster just flat out isn't good enough to start blaming the coach. I would reserve judgement on the running back situation as our running game, in general, is a complete mess. Blocking, inconsistent use and a mediocre passing game have all worked against the guys in the backfield. My one thought is that Marshall has been criminally underused this season - both catching and running the ball - and the near constant rotation of backs during the game does nothing to help establish a rhythm there. The way we use Marshall is a joke. The way QB/RB come to a dead stop on handoffs is a joke. The way every run play is run as some sort of slow tempo stretch play is a joke. The run blocking, overall.. is a joke. With 10023834939 running backs and receivers in the USA, we couldn't find a replacement for Cotton (Chevon Walker!!!) and had Stods as a R, coming down the stretch. Overall playcalling on O.....hell, cannot bear to even go into that again. Getting rid of Marcel will fix some of this...but not all.

At least I will be in Nola, that week......so entertainment will not be a major problem

Well, one of the criteria is what does the coach do....with what he has. This current roster and the talent on it, have to be considered, as well. (Walters)

Went through the long drought before drinking in 84.......this current one is even longer.......patience is a virtue, but at this stage, I am no angel, either........

Know you probably forgot....but couldn't find your list of strengths, here

Gin drinkers tend to have been around the block a few times.......

From cynical to clinical... Wouldn't want to do that, with some of the posters, here......

Well, no one holds my bottle for me.....

Perhaps Miller could sign a couple of OL, running backs, receivers. DT, and DB, while he is at it..................

Wade will dress up as Friar Tuck, and play the lute.....

Because he's still busy actually coaching.....and Walters is doing player personnel stuff, etc.......so, in theory, Wade can do the "wine 'em, dine 'em" thing on everyone's behalf. I think a lot of people have forgotten that this trio, for better or for worse, work together on pretty much everything. It's been reported several times, that they are all very much on the same page and make most decisions together. I refuse to believe that WM is going behind anyone's back here. Have gotten that vibe, as well......so they can share the blame, as well

Marcel the consultant.....

Depends who had input, into the selections, one supposes.....

Well, we do need a special teams assistant......

I didn't think that Walters was into booze, but you shouldn't have been so harsh on him. Still bitter about being made a scapegoat.......

So, the new paradigm is to keep total and obvious incompetence around....simply because we do not have a slam dunk replacement process? Do people not understand, that bringing Marcel back and then keeping him through the entire season.....essentially doomed our O, to ineffectiveness - and was the major contributor to our losing record, this year? Firing Marcel is a pre-requisite .....not an option. Yet, still hearing bildge about "how we couldn't do that", during a season. This organization is far too complacent in the tolerance of non-performance. and no, I do not give MOS a pass on this either....or Miller.

Walters and I had a handshake.....until rumours of gin consumption surfaced.......

So useless we kept him here all year.....

Turner had a good game today......Hurl didn't look very good - not fast enough to blitz, not strong at the point of attack, not quick enough in pursuit.

After a loss........

Outstanding team chemistry.......

Would this get anyone extensions?
