Despite what the record of this team is, everyone should notice that this team is getting better.  this team would be more consistant and would have more continutity if it werent for all the injuries and having to pull people off the street every week.  i think that everybody needs to relax and look at the team and not the record because our record could and should be alot better.

our offense is better in the spread and despite what people have said LJ hasnt been to bad in the spread offense either. the offense is scoring points and moving the ball and tyler thigpen hasnt been sacked nearly as much as croyle and huard was last year.

our defense is beat up and might nt be as good as last year but there is something to be said for being 2nd in the leauge in takeways.  i agree there needs to be more pressure from the ends and need to get more sacks. bt i like that we arent playing mostly cover 2 and more man to man.  and i still think this defense would be better if all our starters are healthy and everybody was playing together.

first of all let me say that i agreee with the majority of people on this site.  i dont think that herm is the answer but it is unfair to judge him when you have 18 rookies on the field and very little veterans.  you shouldnt judge the guy on this years proformance when so many guys are still learning the scheme and speed of the pro game. 

second of all look at the veterans that are on this team that have said that this team is already better than last year even though the record dosent support it.  people like tony gonzalez and brian waters have spoken out about this team and like where it is heading.

thirdly look at all the games and consider what could be.

weeks 1-3 we lost those games,however, we could have atleast tied and had a chance to win the game. we had a chance in the oakland game if it werent for turnovers. and we all know atlanta was just a horrible game.

week 4 we blew apart the broncos (33-19) when the broncos were averaging 30 some odd points a game.

week 5 and 6 were just terrible games against carolina and tennessee where nothing we did could go right.

weeks 7-10 are all games we could/should have won (against New York Jets, Tampa Bay, San Diego, New Orleans).

week 11 was a winnable game until we turned the ball over 5 times and lt trent edwards throw the ball around the field.

and finally week 12 we didnt allow a hundred yards rushing (fargas had 18 rushes for 82 yards and mcfadden had 7 rushes for 13 yards).

anyway i am just as frustrated as everyone else is i am just saying that is team is so much better when healthy and that this season should not be judges on wins and losses because we could be 8 and four right now if everything went our way.
