I should probably give a shot at making this a blog entry since it's got serious length potential. That said I do have some things that are grating at my nerves and have been since March or so.
I was willing to be open minded about the whole 3-4 thing even though we didn't have even close to the personnel for it, it was destroying our defensive line with the ostracization of AH (be real, if we hadn't made the switch AH would still be a bit of a bitch but he'd be playing a HELL of a lot more and better), and we had a perennial top 10 to top 5 D in the 4-3 when Haslett arrived.
I know it takes time to adjust and for the team to settle in but sorry I am officially off the 3-4 bandwagon. WTF...you take a top ten D and turn them into literally the worst D in the league. You can't even stop a one dimensional team that barely has about as much WR talent as we do? WTF Haslett!!!!!
Next point, did I miss something with CP this week? Did he roll up to Shanahan's house for dinner and take a dump on the table setting? Why the ever loving hell was he sitting on the sidelines while that scrub Williams blew play after play after play? Why was Williams or Torain even in the game when CP is averaging over 8 yards a carry? Why was Williams in the game on 3rd doing the pass blocking when we have literally the best pass blocking back in the league sitting there? Does anyone think CP would have blown that block that got McNabb dumped?
Why did we not stick with what was working....Cripes they couldn't stop our run game and we completely abandoned it and played backups!
I can't remember the last time a game pissed me off this much. I KNEW when this game started and the announcers threw out the 1-18 stat for St Louis that we'd be making it 2-18. Spurrier broke me of the whole passionate fan who lets a game ruin his night or the next week etc, but I can't help it here. There is NO EXCUSE for the crap that I blame the coaches for in this game. Just horrible, horrible coaching and decision making.
Help me out here.
