I admire the enthusiasm, but seriously, you can't have10 penalties for almost 100 yards on the road against anybody in the NFL. Talent-wise, we are a very bad team and Haley's been right all along; we can't afford any mistakes - even against average teams - if we're going to give ourselves a chance.
Haley is not going to lose the team (unless it's via the waiver wire, or by trade). He's not going to quit. And, he's not going to buy a gallon of gas and set himself on fire in front of the Jason Whitlock's house.
All of us (including Haley) just saw how far we have to go. We were outplayed and outclassed by a far superior team. We're not 85% of the way there. We may not be 20% of the way there. This is going to take years ... many, many years.
I don't think we converted a single third down today. Some fans need to run laps.

Which is probably why people are getting pissed.
Talent and discipline are two different things.
We know the team isn't talented.
We've also learned that the team isn't disciplined, which is a bit of a concern seeing as how Haley is a so-called disciplinarian.
To me, a loss is a loss, regardless of why.
To others, losing may be acceptable when you know we have such a lack of talent. But it may not be acceptable to see them lose the way they are losing - negating big plays, scoring or otherwise because of a lack of discipline.
