Amused to Death

Its well known BB that I share a lot of your frustration (along with several others here). I think I'm at the point now that I'm going to enjoy the team, savor the wins, and try not to nitpick the finer points. Your points are valid, no doubt. But ultimately I want the team to do well (we all do) and I don't care who the head coach is when it happens. Right now its Reid and they're off to a great start. The fact that the bad games are still resulting in wins in a good thing. Hopefully they continue to improve and the wins keep mounting. As long as that happens, I'm happy. The defense is not the liability we thought it might be with Castillo and that's a good thing.If the team falls apart down the stretch and misses the playoffs, or God forbid they go winless in the post-season again, then I'm right back in "Fire Reid" mode. I've been consistent in my belief that in year AR14, competing or just making the playoffs isn't good enough. I'm going to enjoy it till then.I hear ya but IMO getting Shady 6 carries in the first half just isn't nearly enough to get him and the running game going. Why the #### is Reid ramming Bryce Brown down our throats??? He shouldn't been seen until the fourth quarter when we're winning 35-7. It's ####### ridiculous.I think they tried to get shady going but weren't getting the big chunks. The reason the second half was so successful was because of those 2 and 3 yarders from the first half. Big difference for an o-linemen to drive into a DL rather than playing catch. Eventually it wears on those DLinemen so that you can break of 10 and 12 yarders in the 2nd half. The philosophy of a running game. Now I don't expect Andy to suddenly become Jim Harbaugh here but I hope he recognizes what an effect it can have. Sometimes coaches over think things. Andy does that a lot. But when they look at the tape after a humiliating game, Andy usually comes out with a good game plan. I hope he understands McCoy's importance in this offense and what a threat he brings to defenses. McCoy is where this offensive focus should be so that Djax and Maclin have single coverage down field instead of safety over the top all the time.Real good win against a tough division opponent. Big props to the defense for holding them to 3 points in the first half when starting with a short field most of the game. WTH happened to special teams? Godawful. Nice game from Vick, NO TURNOVERS!! Even givin some credit to the playcalling for actually amping up the run game in the 2nd half. Too bad we can't get Shady going like that in the first half, I think our games will be easier. Amazing to see two head coaches trying to out stupid each other in the last two minutes of the game.
Now, go get your shine box!
