If there was such a thing, now is the time to press it, not when it's too late.

The season is NOT over.. it's not cooked......yet.

However, we HAVE to get this team turned around RIGHT HERE!
If we want a chance to grab a wildcard at 10-6, we have to go 8-2! (assuming loss @indy). There is no time for working things out or giving things time to gel. GOTO PLAN B RIGHT NOW. Saunders needs to move pass this shuffle play offense thats now obviously been over exposed on film for too many weeks. ....And if he needs to make player changes to get his REAL offense executed then by ALL means get it done. This is no time to hold onto player's feelings and friendships. That time was on opening day when its "all good". WAKEUP!! RED ALERT!! MAN YOUR BATTLE STATIONS!! Its all about survival now.

We need to get aggressive on offense AND defense. ATTACK ATTACK LIKE APACHES... Set the tempo, hit someone in the mouth, and then hit em AGAIN. We're playing scared AGAIN on both sides of the ball.. These players NEED TO GET MAD.. I see a bunch of pouters, and excuse makers in the lockeroom.

Someone better do "it" NOW because we are a handful of losses away from being out of the hunt, and there's still alot of games left!!

I agree. It is time to panic. This team is under-achieving and if its time for the coaches to get in their faces a little. Especially the Offensive Line. They should be the best in football, but they only show up for home games. If I see Jansen laughing it up with the other team after an ass-beating like that, one more time, I will puke. Where is the intensity, the professional pride. I bet he never laughed it up with the Buckeyes after an Ohio State game, win or lose.

I disagree that the Giants game should have been counted as a loss in the beginning of the season. The Giants aren't very good. A good team would have put 40 on us yesterday. If we had just played average we would have had a chance. When I look at the schedule, yesterday's game was one they needed to win. This team was supposed to be a threat to win it all this year. There window of opportunity is closing very quickly. They cannot wait until December to get serious this year.
