Not liking what I’m reading about the locker room

This season could go south in a hurry like 2009... time for the leaders in there to step up. Now.

Do your freaking job

They should be happy after a home loss?

You prefer they are in a festive spirit?

Weren't there similar rumblings last year after the Steelers loss?

No but I don’t like the vibe that this is projecting. “On edge”? Yikes.

Tom was pouting a lot in that first half and the last couple of weeks and it was excruciating to watch, glad he came to his senses. Time to focus now.

Uh, what was wrong with what either of them said? Of course they should be angry. They're pointing the fingers at themselves and talking about upping the sense of urgency.

Dude, you're reading way too much into two words....

If the referees jobbed me like they did those players, I’d be extremely “on edge & angry”.
Of course they’re pissed off- they should be. That was a travesty.

If the AB thing is a problem in the locker room then they need to get a grip. He is gone.

I read that as a good thing. Let them be edgy and angry. They need to win Sunday.

I understand that but they have been so good at focusing on the next one and not letting something like this linger.

If they are doing that now and it sounds like it...then maybe this team has taken their first step back to the pack.

Nothing a Cincy win can't fix

We’re good. They’re already breaking down the sideline film from Cleveland.

Good. They should be pissed. They all can play better and they all can coach better.

Yeah, not sure I see the OP’s point here. Reading the title, I was expecting to see the defensive players were mad at the offense or something, but this is we’re pissed off and we’re better than this. That sounds pretty good to me.

I'd be a lot more concerned if reports indicated a calm and relaxed vibe in the locker room after losing 3 of the last 5 games.

Yeah trust me, the 2009 team was the exact opposite of this attitude wise.

Incredibly misleading thread...the players are angry at themselves for the way they've played, not at the coaching staff.

“I think guys are on edge,” Dorsett said. “We’ve got guys that are angry. We’ve all got to look at each other and we’ve got to look at ourselves and just say, ‘We’ve got to play better.’ ”

“Airing of Grievances”

The problem has been on the field, not in the locker room. Issue is talent, not attitude.

Yeah I think it's very telling that none of them mentioned AB at all so it's clear as day that he's at the forefront of the entire team's mind 24x7.
