I'm bitching about one thing, and one thing only: talent evaluation. There is no ****ing way that a sane person would think that LJ was the best back for this team, and the results of the entire season bear that out completely. And yet, these same people, who missed so horribly on evaluating our RBs, who call plays like the Castille pass, who give Matt Cassel $63 million before he has taken a snap for us are also the ones who are in charge of rebuilding this team from the ash heap.
Being happy with the results of yesterday (and I am) does not mean that you can't also look forward to the future. That's the entire point of a rebuild. I honestly can't believe that you cannot comprehend this.

But you can't even wait a week after the game to start this shit. that's the point. Why not just
about it now, let everyone enjoy the win instead of bitching? Why? Because you have such a hard on for Haley and Pioli. So no matter what happens, the first thing you do is look for SOMETHING to bitch about.
I get that you're saying that we put Charles behind Larry, but I've explained that already. LJ was a former 2 time pro bowl back making a lot of money. He's going to be given every chance. This is NOT unusual in the NFL, on ANY team. Period. So saying that the staff has terrible evaluation skills based on that alone is horseshit. So is the Cassel thing. The guy played outstanding in New England last year. This year he was in a new system, new players, a rotating WR corps who couldn't catch, a bad line, and for most of the season no running game. But I don't see you giving the guy the benefit of the doubt based on that. Nope. So you really don't have any "fair" "unbiased" analysis of all of this at all.

When a team is as bereft as we are, you always need to have your eye towards the future. If we were in a Vermeil-esque, win now mode, I can see the point in putting blinders on, but we've got 11 picks in the draft and a free agency period coming up.
How do the moves of this regime, especially in light of what happened yesterday, inspire any confidence in the future?

I can name a few...............
Last year this team quit with a few games left to go in the season. I never saw this team quit. We walked into Denver yesterday like OUR playoff lives were on the line. Regardless of what you think, that is a CHANGE in attitude, and a big one. And the only way that happens is if a coach wins the players over. So regardless of what you or Mecca or any complainer here thinks of Haley, the guys are playing hard for him. And my guy on the roster says so too, so that outweighs anything you or anyone else here has to say about it anyway.
They eventually got the O-line thing worked out. Even if it took a few injuries, they got it worked out. Again, vets generally get the benefit of the doubt over rookies. I'm not even saying it's right, I'm saying it is what it is. You better look like some kind of all world bad ass if you are going to unseat a 8,9,10 year vet who has been starting most all of that time.
This team never quit, and to me that means the attitude of the team changed from last year in a positive way. I think the double amount of wins reflects that too. Haley could have won more than 4 easily with the dropped passes cut in half. Did he make some mistakes? Sure thing. But so did ****ing Bill Belichik and he's won 3 super bowls.
the point is, I've seen good and bad stuff but since both Pioli and Haley are new here, I am going to give them a chance to sink or swim before I start finding every little thing to bitch about. Esp when we just won in Denver for the first time in 9 years. Or I'll at least wait a ****ing week.
