My! How things change.

to admit this season has the makings of disaster written all over it. While I’m skeptical on Haley’s ability to both be the HC and the OC (no, I don’t believe Rip Van Winkle Muir is calling many, if any, plays), I do know the odds of making a Super Bowl appearance after a losing season (I’m going to say we’ll be lucky to go 6-10), are slim to none. And if Haley is fired after this season, those odds become zero.

I agree, I don’t hate Haley. Or Pioli. Or Stude. But, the situation surrounding Haley is kind of like the one with Stude. Even though you work your tail off and give a team all you’ve got, it doesn’t mean you’re best suited for the job. And just as we’ve seen Houston rise and overtake Andy, I’m afraid (if we continue to lose in this fashion), that we’ll see the rise of a new HC and Haley will be shown the door.

never as bad as people like to think, my opinion … one game, we’ll be fine

Lost their first two games 92-10, including a home loss 51-0 to their hated division rivals the Browns. They ended up losing 24-23 to the Broncos in a divisional playoff game. 2003 the Patriots lost on opening day 31-0 to the Bills of all teams, then went 34-3 with 2 SB Wins.

I am sure there are other miserable starts but considering how we ended last season we need to get our act together ASAP.

By the 89’ Steelers was on opening day at 3 Rivers stadium.

The Pats humiliated the Jets during the regular season, only to lose in the playoffs. Listen guys. I’m not against criticizing the team, Haley, Pioli, Cassel, or whoever. I’m not one that believes a real fan can’t be critical of his team and their performance. Tex. makes a vey valid point about this not being something that is just beginning. We did not finish 2010 well, at all. I don’t think Coach Haley used the right approach in Preseason, but I do see his reasoning, as I mentioned I do not think this team was prepared to play a football game last Sunday, so he didn’t utilize training camp, or the pre-season well. I will say, however, that he was the first to take the blame for it, and didn’t pass the buck. Will this be a short term problem, or a long term problem? I don’t know. I am just willing to give him and Pioli the benefit of the doubt, as they did alot more with what I thought wasn’t a real talented team, and they stuck generally with the guys that were already on the roster, who many of us had pretty well given up on. So let’s see. I may be writing a can Haley petition before the season is over, for everyone to sign! I just think it’s too early to crucify anyone.

Beat the hell out of the Patriots 34-14, the Raiders beat the hell out of the Broncos 59-14 and then a few weeks later got drilled 35-3 by the Steelers and then 33-17 at home by the Dolphins. Any given Sunday anyone can have your number. I think if there wasn’t such a bad taste from the end of lat season this loss would have been easier to take. Hell instead of blow out losses can’t Haley just lose one 24-17?

I think people are overreacting for us only having played 1 game. Including last years losses to Oak and Baltimore is kinda ridiculous. This is a new year and I think how we respond against the Lions will show us what kinda team we have. It just takes us to blow out the Lions to have people singing a different tune. I do think us having Muir as a OC or “pretend OC” was a terrible choice. Haley needs to just be a head coach and stop trying to do everyones job. Having trust in your coaches goes along way. And as far as Cassel goes, its only one game so people saying he took a nose dive after Weis doesnt make sense to me. I am slowly falling out of favor with him though but still think and hope hill be ok.
