Top of Second Tier-That's Who and What We Are

[Gritz]

There's no great sin in that.....It is all part of a process.

It is very telling to me though that both of our lines are exposed badly when we do play the better teams....Pittsburgh, New England, Philly.....

We can't run, we can't protect our QB and we can't get to their QB....

Our lines (and our coaching) are keeping us from being elite......

Oh, and the fact that we don't have an explosive playmaker (outside of Roddy) on our O.

That's all I have. I need some more alcohol.

Truth hurts.

It's still early in the season but our lines definitely need upgrades. Hopefully today is the start of Peria Jerry getting back to his college self though.

Biermann has been a huge disappointment as a pass rusher thus far. Outside of that spectacular play last week, he's almost been non-existent.

Agreed. We need a DE, LT, and WR to even think about being in the big leagues. We get blown up by better teams.

Pretty much, and this is how it's done fellas. Nothing wrong w/expressing your frustration, and your opinions in a reasonable manner. And notice I didn't call GB a $%#$^@$ for saying what he thought. Not that hard...

Sad, but true. He gets too many reps for not being able to get to the QB. We need Sid in to see what he's got.

This is true.....I expected to see Biermann get 8-10 sacks this year.

That's looking like it ain't gonna happen.

WTF?

So, top of second tier sounds better than lower of 1st tier?

You guys....


Believe! Damn It!

I still think were an elite team but if our offense from the first 3 weeks doesn't come back ill agree.

Top of second tier? I dont agree with that, the NFL is so close between good teams and bad teams at times that second tier teams would be the bottom teams (Panthers, Bills etc) IMO. We are a top tier team we just got beat by another top tier team, no need to panic its not like we lost to Arizona... lol

I'm not even beginning to panic.

That's just my honest assessment of who and what I think we are as a team right now.


Put us on a neutral field next Sunday....

Are we going to beat the Jets, Pats, Eagles, Ravens?

I don't think that we would.
