Aren't We missing something Here?


So much to read and so much to comment on.  We lost two out of three games aganist teams that most of us predicted would happen.  We have had some key injuries which has had an effect in these losses and many, many, many, multiple errors, penalties, drops turnovers etc...  Yet we were in every single game until late in the fourth period.  We are 1-2 going into Miami.  So much finger pointing has been going on it is borderline ridiculous.  How do you replace a Paul Pozlusny, Derrick Schouman and a Brad Butler?  You don't you send in their replacements and turn it up a notch.  We have been in every game and are exactly where many of us predicted we would be.  Just a few more thoughts.

Star-divide

Does anyone else other than myself think that Marshawn Lynch owes us something here.  I love the guy and wouldn't trade him for the world, but his absense on offense has slowed the progression down on this offense.  Freddy has been GREAT, but just think for a minute what things would be like if both Freddy and Marshawn were available.  WE lost  a very good RT in Butler and Schouman was the last line of defense before getting to Edwards on a lot of plays.  Not to mention his ability to seal running lanes for Fast Freddy Jackson.  We bring in Jonathan Scott, slide Derrick Fine into the 1st team role as TE and we were still in this last game.  Marshawn owes us big people,  what better place to start than southern Florida.  Let the beast out of the bag.  I take my hat off to the guys, they are deserving of much more.  Thank god for the availability of Poz in a few more weeks, but our CB's and S's are everything we hoped they would be.  WE will not be replacing Butler and Schouman with anyone other than what we have, so Marshawn, Freddy and D. Fine will have to fill that void.  This will be much easier with Marshawn in uniform than street clothes.

I don’t think the lack of big plays on offense is due to Marshawn’s absence. That said, I don’t think it will hurt us at all to get him back in the lineup.

Our defense this year has looked great

The Pats have been horrible and the Saints were over-rated coming into this game, they did give up 27 points to DET after all.

Our offense is putrid. There are a few bright spots but for the most part it’s been the same old crap. Jackson has played very well up to this point and Levitre, Wood, Hangman, Bell & Nelson have also shown flashes. But we expected growing pains on the line and growing pains is what we have. The loss of Butler was huge. We need to adjust.

Trent has not played well enough and frankly is at risk of loosing his team. Evans & Owens need to be more involved, AVP must get them more involved with crossing plays over the middle (mid range area).

We need a serious change of attitude on this team, they’ve all become perfect polite drones like their head coach. Total lack of emotion and excuses galore. We really do not care about excuses anymore, just get the job done! I am starting to hope that TO explodes soon so that he can shake things up, maybe wake them up a bit. Someone has to hold AVP/Trent & Dick accountable for the crappy offense they are putting on the field. Our Defense played brilliantly against the Saints and they deserved some support from their offense. The defense was good but not that good, they still need the offense to pull it’s weight.

Your ability to control the LOS is directly linked to your ability to win football games!
