This year's trip to Denver was dead in the water before we even got there as far as I was concerned. A lot had to do with the loss of personnel, as I said, but Herm just doesn't inspire me. I wish he did. I wasn't happy when he was hired. I tried to see the positive, but it's just not happening. I do hope he succeeds, but I have major doubts.
I didn't watch the last game because it wasn't on locally and I had too much other stuff going on to go to a bar. I wish I'd seen it just to see what improvements the D really made. But the few highlights shown on ESPN were of Plummer making typically pathetic throws and the intended receivers were wide open on occasion.
In DV's defense, I thought we had a really solid team last year. We could have made a run like Pittsburgh, IMO, had we not lost Roaf to injury. Those games kept us out of the playoffs. The way we played late in the season, nobody would have wanted to face us in the playoffs.
JMO.

I was firmly convinced prior to Sunday that we were gonna get trounced too. But it wasn't because of Herm, it was because of VERMEIL.
5 straight years of getting embarrassed doesn't give on much hope, and it's VERMEIL that sucked the hope out of me, not Herm.
