Has Fox lost them?

Lost them? they are pretty much gone but to qualify it a little Atlanta's 3-4 coupled with no QB has killed us twice now. Let me see next week and I'll answer more succinctly.

 

To say he's lost them makes it sound like it's all his fault. I may be wrong, but I prefer to think we were a lot worse team than we thought, and played way over our heads in weeks 1-3.

But yeah, they're gone. I just hope Fox doesn't lose his job over this.

 

Put your fears aside. The only way Fox is not here next year is if he quits or dies.

 

I don't think Fox has lost the team.

Every team sets high goals of success each season. When those goals are not met - human nature sets in and that team - although working hard, looses its edge to compete at the highest level. Those teams with something to fight for have an edge. Its much easier to "fight to the death" when you have something big on the line.

As far as Atlanta goes - they are supremely confident that they will come out and kick our asses. Every player on the field has that edge for Atlanta right now. We are only one whipping from changing that however - but we have a long way to go to be able to handle Atlanta. Vick has absolutely destroyed this defense twice and they will need to take a step back and look at how they might defend him in the future as will every team.

Fox deserves respect and even admiration for how he has handled this season. We have been devestated by injuries and have NO OFFENSE AT ALL. Its amazing we have competed like we have in most games. Fox will get things turned around. He just needs time.

 

We don't fire the guy after one season, no.

JR is going to push pretty hard for changes, and with our cap in line, we can spend some money to go after guys to replace the guys who, for better or worse, aren't Fox guys.

Lots of changes next season.

I just hope we don't go overboard and get our cap out of line. I'm holding Hurney responsible for his promise.
