I haven’t posted lately because i started a new job that has taken up much of my time.
I came into season (my 49th) trying to change my attitude. I wanted to find the glass half full regardless of the circumstances or what people were saying. I truly believed that my positive energy may in some small way impact the team’s performance. I was tired of the past decades feeling like there was ultimately little hope, waiting for the other shoe to drop.
I tried. For 13.5 weeks of the regular season, I gave it my best. I shut out the negativity. I only wanted to write about the positive perspective of any topic. I tried. I failed.
After this 1st half of football against a really weak team - I can’t do it any more. I turned the game off. I can’t find the positive any more. This team was always going to ultimately fail. If the defense plays well, the offense fails. If the offense succeeds, the defense fails. This bubble was always going to burst.
I’m sad. Really. I don’t want to feel this way but this team leaves me with very little choice. We’ll make the playoffs but lose wildcard weekend. It’s pretty clear.
I tried - but 33-0, at home, against a 4-8-1 team - well that says it all. I was wrong to believe and my guess is it won’t be any hope in the near future. We’ll gut this team next offseason. We won’t be in position to draft a good QB so we’ll sign some mediocre has been. We’ll be young and spend the next 3-5 years just starting to find our way back to above .500. The era of KOC and KAM will be a bust.
I’m sad. Really. I tried - with every fiber of my being - I tried. I’m sorry. I should have known better.

I see a cry for help.
