A little honesty from the brass would be good right about now

The "bump" was for Chopper, who had asked me on another thread to post some actual comments to back up some of my other posts to some of those people who were flooding the board with all their rants and wails yesterday after the game.

I'm not sure what it is that you expected me to comment on....other than maybe your car wash analogy.

Obviously when you lose 38-0 things are not hunky dorey everywhere. My opinion has simply been, that again, as is so often the case, many of the ranters and wailers have a tendancy to prematurely go into their chicken little routine and inaccurately over exaggerate in regard to much of what actually transpired on the field.

Turnovers killed this team yesterday, but as I stated earlier here neither did this team stink up the place nearly as bad as many would insinuate. Most of the turnovers were not "stupid" mistakes. Seatttle's aggressive play and hard hitting created a good part of those turnovers.

I do think it is a fair assessment to say that Seattle played more aggressive in general, and that is indeed a problem that needs to be addressed. But neither do I think, especially after reviewing the tape through the first half, so far, that the Cards stunk the place up as much as many are claiming.

Boldin was almost cut in half on the play that ended up being intercepted. The ball, as it did more than once yesterday, just seemed to take a fortuitous "bounce" enabling the interception.
It was not a bonehead mistake by Boldin at all.

The only "bonehead" mistakes I saw were the 2 blown coverages on Darrell Jackson, and it was certainly no secret that we came into this game very suspect at the CB position.

Rhinehart and Hill, for the most part, are just not getting the job done. McCown tried forcing the ball where he shouldn't have in the one interception, but overall, actually played a fairly decent game. I don't think this loss can be accurately pinned on his poor play at all.

Now if you kept your posts as sane and well thought out as this one, you wouldn't take one-tenth the crap here that you do Tango.

Good job!

What does "bump" mean?

Someone: The meaning of "bump?" (The longer I refrain from asking, the longer I won't know).

bump is simply something you write to create a new post so as to "bump" the thread back to the top of the list.

The defense was not the problem today.
