Bright Side

Big Texas · #1 10-05-2008, 06:54 PM

Sorry to fool you but there really is NO bright side. Or maybe not really much of one.

At least for 3 1/2 quarters shaub got to sit on the bench and see how to manage a game and get Andre involved.

In maybe some WEIRD way sage's meltdown was good so we could end the qb controversy talks and we can focus on Matt running this offense.

Too bad we had to go down 0-4 to do it.

We have took the next step from:

plain scrubs

scrubs w/potential

Now, a woulda, coulda, shoulda team.

Maybe in another three years we can be a four year 8-8 team.

I'm starting to hate watching this team much in the same way I hated watching the Capers teams towards the end of his reign. It's frustrating wasting Sunday's watching them thinking maybe this is the week they turn it around only to get the normal results.

I disagree, I think there were some bright spots. Mario continued to be Mario. Amobi finally showed up. Reeves had a lot better game today. The defense as a whole was a lot better.

This loss is completely, 100% on Sage. The rest of the team played great.

Sucks that we lost; especially the way we lost. But we (sans Sage) played a hell of a game.

You now I really feel for Sage. After all he didn't mean to screwup. He was guilty of trying to take too much on himself. Right now we are snakebit. The teams morale is so tenuous that when Sage made the gaff, it was almost as if the bubble burst, and everyone thought, oh no here we go again. And of course it did. Analysis: we are not as near to having a decent team as I (a lot of us) thought at the beginning of the year. We have one member of the 2004 Draft, Dunta Robinson (PUP), and two members of the 2005 Draft still with the team, Travis Johnson & C.C. Brown (I/R)! We just do not have the studs to do the job yet. Bad as I hate to admit it, hard schedule or not, we still are a Draft or two from really contending in our division. Hard to take, but there it is.

The bright side for me was that I am driving to watch the game next week; however, I am seriously considering changing my mind. I dont think I can take another loss....especially like that one.....

QFT.

I can only imagine Richard Justice self-fellating himself while writing his column mid-game in the press box about how deservedly smug he should be in stirring the QB controversy pot and prefering Sage as the starter. The thought of him trashing his 30 minutes of scribbling is the only bright side I am seeing right now though.

Our FB, SLB, DT, and CBs played the games of their life. We had two back-up safeties in the secondary against Peyton, and did not get blown out.

Our Pro-Bowl WR played like one today. Hopefully, this city has learned that there is not a QB controversy. I had suggested that Schaub be benched last week so that Sage could lose against the Jags and Colts to finally shut everybody the hell up.

The bright side is this team should realize that they can play with the big boys. If the Head Coach and Back-Up QB really believed that, they would have won.

We saw that not only can we hold one of the most potent offenses (granted they are having a bad year) to 10 points for a two and half quarters. On top of that we made their defense look as pathetic as ours has for 3 1/2 quarters.

But then we committed the cardinal sin. We let off the gas in the last 4 min. hence the two dumb ass runs right into the back of an 8 man front that eventually led to Sage's dumb ass run.

I measure based on other successful teams in the league. And from my own perspective non would have called those two plays.

"YOU PLAY TO WIN THE GAME" "NOT TO HOLD ON TO THE WIN"

You still had to think this was the Colts. No matter how bad they have been playing you cant give them the ball with 4 min and see if they can beat you.

So I'm just saying it, the loss was 95% on Sage and 5% on the last 4 min playcalling.
