No Burrhead, nobody is pretending that all is well and fine. It's pretty obvious what the problems was, but sitting there downing them on the main board is pretty much worthless. Question for you Burrhead, how did Ralph treat wins and losses? When did the players get chewed more, after a win, or after a loss? I'll answer that for you, he said they needed a pat on the back after a loss, not a kick in the butt. They feel bad enough then. It's after a win that you're critical and find the things they need to improve on. It's called keeping an even keel, not too high, not too low. If you don't agree, go ask Ralph himself, ask Bill Castle, ask Rick, ask any of them. Ironlung is right, the biggest problem has been offensive line the last few weeks. About everybody knows that, and if you want to discuss it over here, in an adult manner, that's fine. If you want to go on there and post where you know that several players read it, then try to do so in a more 'positive way'. When we win, I almost always mention something that we need to work on. When we lose, I tend to not say much. Not that I don't have stuff to say, but I'm trying to avoid being critical of kids. You should try that sometime. I'm sure that you've sat around and talked with coaches, former coaches or what not and when they are talking to you, they may say more of what their opinions are. "So and so is sorry", "So and So is horrible", but do they go where the players are and say that? That's the difference and something you can't seem to grasp.
