I am afraid that Haley might have lost the team today.

Dang. "Fire Haley!" "Kill Haley!" "Decapitate Haley!" "Burn Haley!" "Drink Haley's Blood And Eat His Spleen!"

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.
