I've been reading these forums and realized that our fan base is called the whiners for a reason. Even if our team was winning right now, it wouldn't be good enough for all of the negative nancies here. We are in year 1.5 of a total rebuild. The sky is not falling. Actually I think winning a lot of games would hinder our rebuild because we still don't have the depth we need to make a deep play off run. In the words of Aaron Rodgers (whom we almost beat on MNF) RELAX!
I get it. But this franchise is supposed to piss excellence. That is the standard.
This franchise has made the playoffs 5 times in the last 20 years. Before 99' they made the playoffs 15 out of 16 years. And the year they missed the playoffs, in 1991, they won 10 games.
Add in the fact Sleezy York ripped everyone off on PSL's and built a s**t stadium. Add in the fact most of all our young players have REGRESSED. Add in the fact we drafted 3 1st round D lineman who all play the EXACT same position. Add in the fact our coaching staff can't get the players to execute basic football fundamentals such as tackling and taking care of the football. Add in the fact we had opportunities to land a top 2 defensive player in his prime and a legit top 10 playmaker WR, but didn't. Add in the fact our defensive coordinator still can't figure out how to pressure the QB or get the secondary to play their assignments correctly, after 7 games. Add in the fact our head coach/offensive play caller can move the ball virtually at will (minus turnovers) but can't execute in the redzone.
So yea, I can understand why fans are f**king pissed.
But hey, George Kittle is good and our Oline is better. So there's that.
