    it will get better

    thing people seem to be ignoring is our team is so young and together in this form for the 1st time.

    and because the CBA prevents teams from over practicing now its going to take a litle longer than usual for young teams to click.

    lets revisit this midseason, I have an odd suspicion we'll only get better in time

    I agree completely were better overall. But who wants moral victories? There is no reason for us to keep blowing leads and starting slow. And that has NOT gotten better since Whiz has been here. And THAT has to get better for us to win.

    this team as it is has only been together 3 weeks, and thats without our No.1 CB

    I attribute the Colts loss to bad DB play, have to assume that naturally improves once McCourty is back

    I hope the OL improves first and the quickest out of all the other issues we have.

    they'll get better, but will never be great as they are today.

    Bell is crap, the sooner we dump him the better, and Schwenke is almost as bad, but he's young and could maybe turn it around.

    I think we'll give Bells job to Poutasi next year, so as long as we find a real RT by 2016 we stand a chance at being good by mid 2016

    My Take on Why We Lost Yesterday:
    -------------------------------------------------
    1. Got into a 14 point hole because of inexcusable drops and a fumble/interception. (The drops and fumbles to start a game have got to stop or its going to be a long season)

    2. Had a chance to put the game away at the goal line and Whiz showed unbelievable lack of imagination in play-calling. (I believe this goal line stand is when momentum began to shift. Whiz needs to take responsibility for this and correct it immediately).

    3. Our DBs have no idea how to adjust to the ball on deep passes (Their position was fine but they had no idea where the ball was and their arms were useless. Lebeau is going to have to specifically focus on teaching them how to play deep balls)

    Summary: Having said all this i believe that we could have overcome #3 if not for #1 & #2. #3 is not easy to fix but #1 & #2 are fixable and must be fixed immediately or Whiz should be fired IMO.

    I know I'd feel a lot better about things if would own his goal line play calling and his 1-8 home record.

    As much as I expected us to win, did you really expect them to lose 3 straight? It sounds weird, but there were two teams there on Sunday. They were motivated as hell. Not saying we weren't, just saying they were. Games go either way. Maybe we beat them In Indy when they are over confident.

    Where are your priorities, man?

    Reminds me of the joke about the woman sitting at the game with the empty seat beside her. Since those around them knew she and her husband had attended the games together for years, they asked her about where he was.

    "He passed away this week," the woman said.

    "We're so sorry," the other fan responded, "When was the funeral?"

    The woman looked at her watch. "They should be about half way through it about now," she replied.
