Nut up or leave.

If anything, I believe our players will present a unified front that will be more than lip service. They will come together as a team and that will lead to a nice awakening and fun season ahead.
The only thing that really matters is health and adequate offensive line play and if we get that, we'll instantly be a Super Bowl contender.
Sure. And that again is typical of most NFL locker rooms across the land. Look at the toxic environments recently in Miami and the Jets. Unless you're flat dab in the middle of a rebuilding process, there shouldn't be any harmony when you're losing.Seymour":ca4faxxr said:Siouxhawk":ca4faxxr said:Sounds like this is just a bunch of gossip that really doesn't mean squat when it comes time to performing on the field.

I believe that will happen as well, but it only will happen as long as they are winning. We start losing games we should win, and the finger pointing will start all over, and prob. worse than ever.

Did the loss in the SB, and resulting dissatisfaction, cause the team to go from 13-3, 12-4, to 10-6, 10-5-1? Or did the reduction in wins cause the personality problems that were already there, to become more prominent?

And a perfect illustration of this is the irrational emotional defense against what started as a trickle and has become a torrent of whispers, news and rumors regarding the defense being upset with the offense.
It seems like something that should be expected, but instead people kept erecting reasons why this could never be, or could be but must be this one player's fault, or might be but clearly is just misguided, etc. Because acknowledging this is an issue would acknowledge that there is an obstacle keeping this team from winning.
Which destroys the delusion that this team is poised for a SB run.
The problem is that you usually cannot solve a problem until you first acknowledge it exists in the first place.
This team needs to first face the reality that it has divisions. It needs to face why. And it needs to remove the reminders that allow those divisions to fester and multiply. (Sherman is not that reminder BTW)

We know it's out there. Interesting to see Warren, who is close to the team, with these comments:
“They are still having a hangover from two years ago, if you can believe it or not, about losing that Super Bowl in the last minute with the interception on the one-yard line,” Moon recently told Brian Webber and Kordell Stewart of NFL No Huddle on TuneIn. “And with a lot of guys, it just kind of rubbed them the wrong way and they just haven’t gotten over it. This team will not be able to move on and really do what they want to do which is win another Super Bowl unless they can somehow put that behind them. There are certain guys on the team that just haven’t been able to do that and until they are able to do that they are going to continue to keep having a very good football team but a team that is going to probably come up short of their goals because of not being able to let go of the past and letting those things become a hindrance to their success.”
“I think you just can’t have these negative things in the back of your mind,” Moon said. “You have to be focused and be all in on what’s going on in front of you and not worrying about what’s behind you because those just hinder your teams success. It can become a huge distraction. It can become something that separates your football team and you don’t need that when your trying to go against some of the best football teams in the league and trying to unseat them as either NFC champions or Super Bowl champions. You definitely have to make sure everybody’s minds are clear and focused on what the goal is at hand and you have to leave everything that has happened in the past.”
Obviously, it's a huge challenge. Hopefully, the circus during 2016 forces the guys to finally move on and focus on the present instead of the past.

Periods. The use of well-placed periods might help the above words make some kind of sense. I think.
