Thread: Does the team seem a little too somber or disinterested?

Maybe that's not completely accurate but I'm definalty getting a different feeling from them.

And I can tell you one thing, it's not the feeling I was getting from the Colts Thursday night. This guys were jacked up and feeling good!

We look like we just want to get this over with.

Anyone else see this?

Or am I just seeing things?

I think you have a point. I think the entire team is on suicide watch and, if not, they should be.

I think you're misreading something.

However, I think your end result might be accurate.


I'd imagine the defense is excited about the new scheme and really focused on learning it. I'd imagine the offense is excited to see what they have in Cutler. But in the end, we are really depending on alot of 1st-2nd year players, and I could definitely see this year as a "growing pains" type of year. Maybe some veterans get that feeling too, but I don't really see it.

all i know is taht once your on the field, outside emotions dont matter the only ones that matter are the in game emotions if anyone plays a sport they know what i mean

Actually TDK, I think a lot of what you speak of was over confidence.

Well, if there was a cure, this last Sunday should have provided it . . .

I'm not saying you're wrong... I just wonder what the hell makes this team think that they have any room to be overconfident. Those players who were here last year remember losing to SF at home and missing the playoffs. Those who are new have had a lackluster preseason and two squeakers for victories... Hardly anything to boast about.

Don't forget our recent home record.

Yeah, I don't see that at all.

I don't see them disinterested.

That's ok because I don't see any of what you're talking about either.

We have too many softies on this team. We have too many guys who lack desire. I mean, we have some players that have pride and then we have a lot of guys along for the ride that hope no one will notice.

Have you watched any games this year?

Take a look at their tackling for example.

Serious lack of interest there.

I don't see any over confidence, that's for sure.

I doubt you could be out on a football field with the speed and physical activity that is going on and be disinterested. You would get injuried. They got out played Sunday, it happens. Now it is on them to step up if they do not want that to happen again.
