    In my opinion, this is the core talent of the team. There are a lot of other good players on the team (rest of OL, Washington, Hope, etc.) but these guys decide the game. Just looking at it...

    - Good QB, dual threat, can make plays and win games
    - Best RB in the NFL
    - Size, speed, makes the big catches
    - Pair of great tackles
    - Leads the DL, big time player
    - Best LB on team, all over the field
    - Finnegan doesn't give up the big plays, great CB
    - Griffin is back, ball hawk

    What's the problem? They're not being used right. The coaching staff needs to realize they have too much talent on this team to go 8-8. Give the ball to VY more, create some creativity with CJ, start Britt over Gage.

    We all pretty much know McCourty is going to be starter again even though Verner showed that he can be a great CB. Hell, even the CBS guys gave a Titan some love and he's just a rookie. Overall we have an excellent defense who couldn't carry the game because our offense and Fisher kept putting them in a bad spot.

    This isn't a (fire Fisher thread), okay maybe but we have too much talent to fail. The Texans are overrated, the Colts have the same records as us, and looks like a lot of teams will be in the hunt for the wild card. Fisher has to get his head out of his butt and realize this might be the best chance for us to go deep into the playoffs.

    Do we really have the talent? I don't see it. I see a 9-7 squad out there that has the ability to win a game just as easily as they could lose it.

    We're young/breaking in new starters at 8 spots(counting Mariani), those things take time.

    I agree that the core players are there, but the guys around them haven't caught up yet.

    You also forgot to mention Jared Cook in the talent pool. But i do agree that we do have alot of potential to be reckoned with.

    I sure do wish Mike Tomlin was our HC. At least he knows how to get full potential out of his talent.

    I agree with you but I just think when you have a lot of weapons on offense and a very good defense we should be winning more games. As for the other guys they really need to step up, especially Hope. Washington is a deep threat, Gage is decent, Ringer will get more carries, McRath comes back, and Witherspoon has played well.

    YES!

    We are a quarter of the way through the season, and Fisher never coaches well in September. Don't think we're done, it's not panic time. Fisher only has so many tricks he knows to use, he saves them for later. As for the Texans being overrated, you're absolutely correct. They'll crash and burn come mid-November. The Colts are playing as half @$$ as us. There are a handful of wildcard teams playing sub par. We should be okay.

    Yeah I thought about putting him there I just want to see a little bit more production but I was pumped when we drafted him and he's looked good so far.

    Mike Tomlin is Jeff Fisher ten years ago. But hey, we were worth something ten years ago, so let's break some rules and call his agent. I bet that would get Fisher going.

    If our HC had a creative bone in his body we would be a much more dangerous team. Period.

    It makes me sick to imagine what a coach who doesn't think it's 1972 would be doing with this kind of unique offensive talent.
