To blame a fumble on playcalling is not rational, to say F Gibbs is not rational, to claim the Patriots have a killer mentality but then not acknowledge their balanced attack against the chargers or how they didn't throw more deep passes than the Redskins yesterday (just completed more) is not rational, to praise the Cowboys for getting TO involved in the offense with short passes but then rip on the Redskins for doing the same with Moss ("dink and dunk" as people like to call it) is not rational.
To completely disregard our two wins this year (including one on the road against a division opponent) and act like there is no hope left is not at all rational. And quite honestly, I wish those people would just go away. The "I have no faith in this team and I'm going to bitch and moan about it after every loss, but when they win I'll just disappear or I'll jump on the bandwagon" act is tired.

We should have faith after a 2-0 start. Like I said, I think pretty much anyone on this site would have been just fine knowing before week 1 that we would take a 2-1 record into the bye.
A 2-1 start should not cause anyone to start screaming for anyone to be fired. But I simply have to see more production from this offense. All I heard all week after the Philly game was how much JC was growing up right before our eyes, blah blah blah. Yet we barely threw in the 2nd half (unless it was 3rd and long or the very end of the game) against a team that had been victimized by the pass horribly in the first two weeks. 17 points a week ain't gonna cut it. Is it too much to ask for a team to score 3 TDs in a game every once in a while? We have weapons galore on offense and we're paying Saunders more than a lot of head coaches....
