I'm dissapointed we can't get a first quarter TD. More pathetic than any thing. It takes two quarters to get a field goal. Every ounce of energy they have to drive 70 yds just for a field goal. That's what we are watching on the field. What are we the leagues worst at 3rd down conversions. It's everything the coaches & the players that arn't getting the job done. We have regressed this year not progressed that is what was expected is progession get better as the season goes.

I would like to see Cassel take this team down field and score a TD in the first quarter at least. He needs to find a way to do it then maybe they could build confidence for the rest of the game and play better as a team.

I would much rather see Brodie play than Cassel allways have but not going to happen so Cassel needs to grow a pair and get the job done.

Maybe Clark told him no free agents because the budget is tight right now. Those Stadium renovations are costing a lot of money. That may not be the reason but after hearing about the whole chan gailey thing this cannot be discounted at all.

If that's the case.....then Clark Hunt needs to get the **** out.

It absolutely can be discounted.

NFL owners have been chasing Pioli for years. He turned them all down to stay in NE.

You're going to try to convince me that when he finally takes a job, and leaves NE, he decides on a place where the owner tells him to fix his team, but not spend money?

Im just saying that it is a factor to consider instead of putting 100% of the blame on Pioli.

Bull****.

They paid out the same to Jackson and Cassel than they would have if they had stayed put and drafted Sanchez, Mauluga, and brought in Olshansky and Houshmanzillie.

The owner told them to not fire Chan Gailey. I could easily see Clark saying well we have a high draft pick to sign and a qb to lock up and the stadium renovations to deal with also. We just dont have the money to sign big $ free agents

This is nonsense

I guess i dont understand why it is so hard to believe that this happened? I am not saying it did happen but it has to be considered a possibility.

Hunts are laissez-faire when it comes to running their football team thats why.

You should consider the possibility that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

No, it doesn't.

Unless you think Pioli is the mother of all dumbasses.

He passed on the GM job for one of the best run organizations in the NFL a few years back, and you're telling me he's going to take a job to rebuild a POS, and be OK with being told he can't spend the money to do so?

I've seen some stupid things claimed here today, but this might take the cake.

Yep the Seattle job with Microsoft money behind it.

Could you give an actual reason instead of just calling me dumb?
