I get that this is the NFL and you can’t expect to win every week and we have it BY FAR better than anyone else, BUT...

What on earth was up with the coaching decisions? Unbelievably conservative in playcalling, should have attempted at least one, if not two onside kicks, definitely should have done for it on 4th and an inch. It’s like Belichick and McDaniels lose their minds every time they coach a game in Florida. Very frustrating to watch. Lacking talent is one thing (and there is some of that). Coaching to seemingly lose is another.

This happens early every season and frankly I'm ok with it.

I understand that the GDT is "reactionary" but when posters are calling it a season after the first three and out it's reached a point of enough is enough. The GDT used to be a great companion piece to the games, time to throw the dirt on that.

I came along 6 years ago and it didn't take me long to see that the GDT was a waste of my time so I stopped going there. It sounds like nothing has changed.

I'll never agree to the idea that the team is immune to criticism, no matter how successful they've been in the past. I still want to know wtf Belichick was thinking on the 4th and 2 call in Indy and why they decided to go pass-happy against a weak run defense NYG team in 2011. I look at those two situations as blown opportunities by the coaches.

Agree.

I vistit the GDT a few times a season and after 5 minutes I'm annoyed and exasperated.

We discovered a couple of decades ago that organizational success is more likely by focusing on the positive, and taking advantage of what people do well, rather than criticize them for what they don't. It is remarkable how organizational moods change when this is done. But, there are always a small number of people in management who simply can't find satisfaction or a role unless they focus exclusively on what's going wrong and how people are messing up. They usually fail when this is brought to light. And they usually go down swinging, blaming everyone else for their emotions and hanging on to "rights" like to say what they believe.

I think they take up residence in football GDT's all around the country.

Well that is the word on the street.

My current take is that a percentage of "fans" have gone beyond criticism and into rage and hatred. I was advised to use "ignore" and that may help but I feel as though my questions are still valid : why follow a team that you hate and why participate in a forum that discusses that team?

I took some heat for my thread.

Ian is a better diplomat

ANNOUNCEMENT - Gloating About Losses ... ?

I've seen no sign that Brady isn't still "Brady." So, I'm thinking they can and will overcome a 1--2 start.
If they're 3--2 next Thursday night with a long week to get ready for KC, the season looks good.
If they're 2--3 or worse...check back with me then.

found the playbook from Sunday:



where do i turn it in?

Don't mean to be a bummer; but doesn't losing to the Lions automatically eliminate a team from qualifying for the postseason?

Off course. The Detroit Lions are the official post season gate keepers.

It's too early to be quitting on the Pats, in spite of the fact that they went 1-2 against teams with a combined record of 3-6.

Full disclosure, I've never given up on the Pats.

I'm stubborn.

The only time that fans give up on the Pats is when they're at the game and they want to get a head start getting out of the stadium. That place is a mess after games.
