Ya'll are acting like that under Smith, we constantly trot out inferior players simply because they were the starters before they were injured or something all the time. We're on the way to double digit wins right now, with another likely play-off berth, and I get the feeling that some of you think we're on the way to a 4th straight losing season or something.

I'm not asking anyone to be "homers" or anything, but yeesh.

wait what? did you keep a straight face while you were typing that? remember Jason Elam, Adam Jennings, JA98, and the ever present Chris Owens???? i'm sure i'm forgetting someone, anyone who can add to that list, feel free. if there is any REAL knock i'd put on coach, it's his seemingly undying loyalty to inferior players.

I'm not expecting a losing season, but you're not gonna sit there and convince me that if Baker comes out of practice this week at 90 to 95% you're expecting svitek to start again?

C'MON MAN have you NOT been watching this team the last 3+ seasons?
