re: This is a bad football team and a mediocre franchise.

I think our Free Agency Defensive picks lately have been very good.

The FANS attitude towards my statement is as it should be -- angry and defensive. I have no problem with that.

What the OWNER and the HEAD COACH should say to each other when they sit down for their first meeting is this:

"This is a BAD football team. The franchise overall has had some bright spots, but, let's not suck each other's dicks off just yet, because, overall, this franchise is, based on it's long history: mediocre."

The offense is excellent, with room for improvement. That's the good news. The bad news is that we have failed to build an NFL-caliber Defense. We have failed for years.

We need to try to understand WHY we failed. If we can't figure it out, let's bring in a Consultant or SOMEBODY who can help us build a roster on Defense.

We do NOT have a Dynasty. We WANT to build a Dynasty, so, let's identify our weaknesses and correctly them DECISIVELY, so that we can get back on the road to excellence.

We are a bad football team right now. Let's make damn sure that this does not become our identity, as a football team. "

This is the kind of thinking that we need from the Owner and FO right now.
