I'm not going to throw myself off a bridge just yet, but I do want to co-sign on the Offically Underwhelmed Thread.
I'm getting worried that Camp Fisher is okay with the annual slow starts. I had hoped that mediocrity would be frowned upon, but clearly that is not the case here. The fan base is not willing to sit through another year where we dont even know our own plays until week 5, where we dont click on any cylinders until its too late to save face, let alone save a possible playoff run.
I'm co-signed on the impression that we dont actually seem to be working on anything during these games that were designed to work on things.
I'm co-signed on the opinion that we should make an effort to at least look good, look professional, and not appear disfunctional in these games "that dont matter"
I'm co-signed on the movement that says these games do matter and "you play like you practice"
I am NOT co-signed on the constant excuses, most of which are being made by our very own fan base. Tired is not a reason, its an excuse. Rookies are not reasons, they are excuses. New coordinators are not reasons, they are excuses. Practicing in Oxnard and excessive travel is an excuse and the decision to do so and then use it as an excuse is merely not taking responisbility for that decision. Disturbing trends are the norm it seems.
What we need to do is completely delete this past week from our memory banks and hope like hell we start appearing to be a functional football team soon. We have no other choice because what we are all seeing, regardless the varying degrees of dissapoint or indifference, is actually happening.
