After reviewing the film of the Raiders game, I felt the play of the game wasn’t nearly as bad as it seemed Sunday afternoon. Unlike the Raiders game, the Atlanta had so much breakdown, it’s hard to assess. There were fewer mistakes by single individuals, but far more individuals making them.
With that said…enough drama already! 3 games in what is supposed to be a two – three year rebuilding process seems hardly worth throwing Herm Edwards under the bus…NO WAIT! A train…a bus isn’t big enough…we need a train!!!!
No, I don’t like watching the team lose in this fashion. But football is different than other sports. It requires perfection in its teamwork. That comes through reps.
NOVEMBER 2008 will provide us a glimpse to the true potential of our future team. The seed planted by reps, will begin to grow and take shape. Can’t wait? Hop off the wagon. Hopefully you can hop back on. That what other cities fans do.
Ask yourself this one question. If the team goes 3-13 this year, 8-8 in 2009, 11-5 in 2010 making it back in to the playoffs, and 13-3 in 2011 winning the Super Bowl…is a two year sacrifice worth it? New England sacrificed 3 years. Tampa 4 years.
Of course, I reserve the right to jump off the wagon with you at some point. I just want give the youth planting time to grow, before I do.
