I blame Vermeil.....

Dickie left this team in sorry-ass shape for the future, and you can bet that if thought he could get anything else out of them, he would have stuck around. His "legend" would have been tarnished with what his offense turned into, though.

It's kind of funny in that Vermeil really not only ruined our defense, but also ruined our offense by not making it a priority to build for a future that he would not be around here for. Very convenient.

The decision to hire Vermeil set this franchise back a decade.

Carl should be fired today for that.

You're probably right.

I do blame Herm for the bruises to my head the past two years for all the play calls that have left me banging my head against a concrete wall.

I'm thinking that's the cause.
