Sure did... Really hope that we are not wasting Gurley's talents like we did with Jackson...
:shock: :shock:

Not sure what has happened, Gurley? O-line? OC? all of the above? One thing for sure, it seems second year running backs for Fisher have failed spectacularly. If anybody who can break out of that trend it's got to be Gurley... but this is getting very concerning. One thing that would really help is getting the passing game going (Goff Caugh) so that other teams have to respect it. Until then, I expect much of the same.

Your right... I'm tired of the rich stepping over the common folk. I am going to seek legal representation. Do you know anybody?

That didn't happen and this team sucks.


:roll:

It's hard to blow teams out in the NFL. You look around the league and it seems like 85% of the games come down to the wire.

My post was a poke at all the Debbie Downers comments. I don't feel this way. I couldn't be happier unless we were 4-0.

I was joking everyone. lol

The only problem that I had against Fisher this past game is the challenges.

I seriously think he throws the flag because he wants his players to believe in him. It seems that every time a player (believes in a catch) & pleads to Fisher, he just throws the red flag. I'm guessing it's a "believe in ne and I'll believe in you" type of deal. It's a 90% chance of losing the challenge, but 95% chance of getting a player who'd concentrate harder next time on the field.

I really have a hard time believing that. There is certainly better ways to show your belief in your players. And with that being said, I haven't really had too much problem with Fisher's challenges up until yesterday.

just for curiosity sake, I took a peek at Fishers Challenges for his entire career ( not counting this season) He has challenged 79 calls. 30 of them have been overturned and 49 have been upheld. A 37% success rate. For comaprison purposes looked at Belichick who most consider one of the smartest Head coaches of all time. He has challenged 104 calls. 42 of them have been overturned and 62 have been upheld. A 40% success rate. Pretty close.

I say that because it seems that he throws the flag pretty quickly. When cameras pan to him, he seems to take the players input more than a staffer input of the replay. I could be wrong, but I don't know if he waits long enough to get an input from replay.

Good grieve!! They need to get a guy in the booth that can specifically manage challenges, time management, extra point conversion and, while were at it, aggressiveness? Seriously, if your not good at offense and your team piles up the penalties, ignoring these little details are going to exacerbate the situation.
