  1. Maybe you have never watched Al Jazeera's news network but it is excellent. It is on par with the BBC and far exceeds any of the major news networks or CNN in terms of the quality of its news coverage (you won't get fluff "lifestyle" stories ala Good Morning America). It is a straight up news network and has nothing to do with promoting Islam or any other ideology. If you want to be spoonfed news analysis with a political bent, watch something like the Fox News network. If you want objective world and American news coverage you should watch something like Al Jazeera or the BBC or PBS News Hour (although News Hour is not a 24 hour program).

     

    I feel for your disillusionment. You have a severe case of it.

  2. I too had a lot of excitement, because of a few reasons.

     

    • The Bills had the 4th best defense, leading in sacks, and how could a defensive guru make it worse?
    • When in NY, Tannenbaum picked up some nice players for Rex, but he had voerspent and the cap was not healthy. What does woddy do, but bring in a non-football GM who is a number cruncher who decimated the talent for NYJ, and Rex still had a top 10 defense all but one year of six.
    • He went to the AFC Championships twice with Sanchez.
    • TT came on strong in camp, and the Pegulas really opened the wallet truly reaching to the cap with McCoy, Clay, Incognito, and in the pre-season the draft picks looked sharp, but Darby.
    • I believed in Roman what he could do with Kaepernick, so he should be epxerienced enough to get what we needed out of this offense. I was hoping for a top 2-3 defense, a top 5 running game, and a top 15 offense.
    The obvious things happened with the defense, penalties were absolutely ridiculous, poor game management, and an extensive amount of top talent injured.

     

    I don't blame Whaley, and I don't blame the Pegulas in their first year. I'm sick of Rex's bravado, so just shut up and coach, and show improvement. Improvement in performance, more disciplined players, more effective offense, and a team that looks like it can compete with the Steelers, Patriots, Broncos, Jets, and the playoff NFC teams.

     

    So yes, the expectations given the talent in years past, idiots like Jauron, G. Williams, and so on were not as high. This year i thought we cna be a 10-6 to 11-5 team. We are competitive in the first couple of rounds of the playoffs and maybe two years away from a SB run.

     

    This sucks.

    I was going to write a long response but can't capture it better than this.

    The coaching miscues and penalties (coaching again) and defense crash (oh..coaching) were the most disappointing.

     

    I get that Ryan gets a mulligan this year, but no playoffs next year....he gotta go.
