Two things:

1) I hope the players know we have not given up on them. Although there is some discontent in regards to some prima dona's not doing their part I don't think I have heard anyone completely mad at the players. If #2 changes fans will be a little more respectfull in regards to the losses.

2) I think the Fans are basically pissed that VC is still with the team. I can't tell DS how to run this team but I think (just me) that if DS would fire VC tomarrow most fans would be content with the fact that there will be definit change. Instead we have to keep seeing VC's smiling mug all the time and hear his lame answer's with the feeling that DS is not willing to let his little buddy go. The little buddy who has picked players based off of BPA instead of need. I'll agree BPA may be a good route to take "if" there are no glaring need in any one position. That way your picking up quality players for the future. I'm not knocking those players picked cause they might turn out to be gems but they won't fix our glaring O-line issues.

and....instead of picking up O-lineman (knowing Samuels and Thomas might not make the whole season) they picked up Mason (who I like) and Alridge. I'd rather they pick people who would have helped the team out immediatly and proven me wrong then try to keep someone cause you think he might work out. Then after the injuries they still brought back Alridge (why?) and later picked up a Full back (again why?). I'd rather they went out and raided other teams practice squad and picked up a bunch of young O-lineman Buges could work with right now and hopefully they could replace people in the future.

At this point they just need to play all the young guys to give them experience. I don't care how many times they say we still have a half a yr to play. These players are not in sink with each other. It's a team full of players but they are not a team. Better to give the young guys experience for the future and to see what we have. Place Portis on IR. No need to keep him on the field not improving his game or his health. Williams is a bust, even though I was hoping he would contribute. He continues to block with his head down and keeps getting beat. Time to replace and cut bait.

Sorry for going on a tangent.
