Tenth Round, Jack
 

Jack,

This is the last round in your fight, Jack, and you're way behind on everybody's score card. Either you pull it out now, or you can pack your bags. Four out of five analysts on the nation's #1 sports network figure your team to come in dead last in the division. The fifth analyst has you third out of four teams. Not exactly a ringing endorsement, and that's probably not the way you want to start your season. But we don't disagree with them, having watched you through the years.

Pre-season was, let's say, interesting. Your starting offense didn't do squat. Your starting QB was terrible, as was his line. Every now and then a starting receiver caught something, but but the overall impression was that this is a continuation of last year. The running game, BTW, was non-existent, and we're not buying that line that it'll "come together" once the season starts. You've gone to that well many times before. The defense looked a little better, but certainly not ready to play a game that counts a week from now.

You need to come out of the corner swinging, since Denver, San Diego, Philly and the Colts aren't going to wait for you to warm up. You'll be lucky to come through that gauntlet 2 and 2, and most likely will drop at least 3 of those games, if not all 4.

Late breaking news from the Better Late Than Never Corner - you FINALLY dumped Reggie Nelson. Mazel Tov! That guy has been wasting roster space since his second year here. Of course, you traded him for somebody nobody ever heard of, who won't do anything to help the team this yearu but that's par for the course for you.

Well, it's been nice  beating up on you. If Wayne ever hires a real Head Coach we may retire this blog, but he won't spend the money for that. Meanwhile, we've got you for one more season. Maybe somebody else will need a defensive line coach and hire you, but you probably won't be a head coach in this league again. And you shouldn't have been a Head Coach here.

Have a nice day.
