Flep - That's why I'm doom and gloom.

I lied earlier. I said that I didn't get fired up because of the pre-season but in truth, I did. I thought our D would be unstoppable and that would put us in a position to have our O score 25 points a game and win double digit games.

Didn't happen, so the letdown was huge. Kind of along the lines of you have a wonderful make-out session with a hot babe and the next day she tells you she's married.

I'm with you totally........Hence the last line of my initial post.....

Or worse still a Bears fan.

oh woops 🙂

I don't get it. There's a lot in the dictionary between "I" and "S". I'm going to need another hint.

+ 1 to zero (I hope)

I think Cunnigham was sucked over 100 times one season.

That's some nasty info.

Most Times Sacked, Season
104 - Philadelphia, 1986
78 - Arizona, 1997
76 - Houston, 2002

And Cunningham did indeed get a lot of playing time that year. He was 'only' sacked 72 times, though. They actually had a rotation of Cunningham (72), Jaworsky (22) and Cavanaugh (9). No wonder that that line could never adjust. Oh, yeah, their running back got sacked once as well, while trying to pass. Keith Byars (1).

Arizona used multiple QBs that year, as well. Not a big surprise when you're giving up that amount of sacks.

Jake "Porn Stache" Plummer (52), Ken Graham (16) and Stoney Case (10).

And lastly, Houston. The year that destroyed David Carr's career according to many. David Carr took every single one of the 76 sacks given up. That's a record number on one single player.

We're on pace to give up 74 sacks on one player. And we still have to play Baltimore, Pittsburgh etc. That is not a thing you want to happen to your QB.

But not KC? :tongue: Noticed no Tampa Bays on the list...

The reason i can't seem to get excited for the rest of the year is this: The season is half over, and we are making the same mistakes we did since week one.
Dumb penalties. No pass rush. Can't stop the other team's pass rush. Can't get a consistant run game going. Special teams that can't tackle, can't make a decent return, can't do ANYTHING right.
As long as the coaches can't "fix" those glaring weaknesses, we are doomed to get the same lousy results.
We keep hearing "We'll get that fixed" and none of it changes.
So it makes it a bit hard to be positive.
Unless this team pulls a magical turn around starting this week, it will remain pretty much "doom and gloom".
Now....i'm pretty much a positive person. But i refuse to stick my head in the sand and pretend it looks rosey ahead.
I HOPE of course the Packers suddenly wake up from their collective slumber, and prove me wrong.
