We were once the envy of the league and all of sports - NOW we're a joke. Let's keep lowering our standards.
How are you going to feel when we get blown out 30+ to O in the first playoff game. Gee, that's something to be proud of - PATHETIC!
I agree with that lowering standards is never the answer, every year we need to be a Superbowl contender like it was for my first 22 years of my life.
My whole family to include me and media thought the squad had the talent to win the west. We have played some really good playoff teams close this year and I have seen some of the worse ball of my life to. I have also seen some of the worst player handling of my life. People leaving the team, asking for trades, coaches getting fired/quitting, rookies over vets.....vets over rookies? It's nuts, i know but I really want them to make it and win. It would be good for the team.......maybe help bring in a higher tier coach or fire up the owner to open up the wallet. Most of all it would be good for the players.
This is a good read on how sad it has been and who it driving the team into a brick wall.
