No you don't.

Isn't that what he said about Haley 2 weeks before he fired him?

They can turn it around. Will they? That's the real question.
If they get thumped again this weekend...the wheels might come off this thing.

This.

I think we've over reacted quite a bit, and rightly so.

But if we clear our heads and look at it as football people and not as emotional fans, we can see that this team does in fact have the talent to right the ship.

We've seen them do it. We've seen DJ hit his correct assignments. We've seen the D-line hold up against the run. We know what Charles and Bowe are capable of.

It's a matter of WILL they do it?

We know these players are CAPABLE of doing it.

It's just a matter of whether they'll get it done or not, and whether RaC has the ability to get a high level of play out of them.

Um, Matt Cassel.

I guess i need to define "Right the ship".

By "right the ship" i mean become competitive and able to carry Matt Cassel, not become the Falcons.

Confidence is huge in this league though. This team needs some.
They need to play over their heads and beat the Saints.
If this team stops believing in itself this season will spiral out of control.

At this point, isn't this what we need?

I'm literally rooting for us to go 0-16.

I don't feel that way.

Ideally, we need to see an epic collapse by CASSEL, and we need the rest of the team to play well.

There are plenty of players on this team that i feel are, and should be, major contributers to this team. An epic collapse would mean that those players aren't who we thought they were, and that the team would need to be rebuilt from top to bottom AGAIN.

I don't feel like waiting another 3-4 years.

I'd much rather RaC figure it out, the D figure it out, and Cassel shit his pants and force his way off the starting lineup.

He better be talking about re-signing Flowers and Bowe. If he extends Casshole I will no longer root for this team until both he and Cassel are gone.

[Discuss Thrower]

No, they can't, and no, they shouldn't.

[Black Bob]

He's a master manipulator guys. The only way to get him out is to continue to lose horribly and I think that will stop soon.

I don't like the guy but he is here for a while.

He's just like the Joker.... always just a half a step ahead of Batman...

Fortunately, the Spin Doctor finds himself spinning these days.

The fans don't buy it any longer.
