What was that?
In the end, we miss the playoffs, and that might be a good thing. We would have traveled to Minnesota to watch Adrian Peterson run off 200 yards on us or to see Tavaris Jackson throw four touchdown passes against us. Our defense is officially defunct. Say what you will, I still say the day they went AWOL was the day Lane Kiffin took the job at Tennessee. How do you go from 9-3 to 9-7 and not blame it on the collapse of our defense.
I’m sickened for Cadillac Williams. I have loved watching his comeback this year.
I’m already pondering who our next QB is. All indications are that it’s not Jeff Garcia. What other cast offs will be out there for Gruden to court? Favre again? Eric Mangini looks to have indigestion watching Favre play. How about Vince Young? Maybe his delicate ego needs a dose of Chucky. Matt Leinert? Nope, left hander. Remember Chris Simms? Mark Brunell? Shoot. Another lefty. Byron Leftwich? Maybe. Matt Cassell? Not old enough. Ugh!
Discouraged.
What did you see? What do you think about the future?

Glad they didn’t make it today. We would have been embarrassed next week against Minnesota the way our defense has been playing. Kinda wish the Glazers waited on those extensions for Gruden and Allen.

Hi Preach;
You are right on Preach, but the O line can’t run block or protect the passer. The play calling is enough to make you go and upchuck! The injured Graham is the only good running back (Chuckie sent Bennett packing)! The secondary has been getting burned on a regular basis all year. The Pass rush has not shown up all year and on and on! Last off season we made no attempt to bring any free agents to fill the many holes then except Faine and even though paid millions got trampled on a regular basis. The receiver corps only had one very good one in A.Bryant (Other than Hilliard and Galloway) and they were either deactivated or got splinters from Gruden’s Dog Bench! Thanks for a season of great humor!
