Idle Eric and Seymour share curiously similar writing styles.

Ifedi And his penalties suck. There’s a distinction between calling him out for sucking and Bennett as a whiney spoiled brat because he went after the jag center.
I offered distribction. You didn’t until now.
Seymour":3cehl97r said:More clear evidence you just don't get it. I am bummed about this whole thing like a loss in the family.
I got zero joy from that other than it's nice knowing that someone does indeed understand the exact feeling.
That is also why I will not engage in your debate on this, I have no energy for that.

Uncle Si":2zpp7rih said:I made a post about fans having unrealistic expectations of players in terms of competition and sportsmanship . You told me I didn’t get it. Then defended your statement with the family statement.
Nothing was perpetuated. That was your comment.
The other stuff I get. I don’t feel that way but I get it.
My statement, as I said, is that many fans are out of touch with the reality of the game and what they expect from players. Your condemnation of them in the OP and other threads regarding sportsmanship etc was reflective of that. You can jump around all you want. Ive been talking about the same point with each post.
Now, the discipline (mistakes, preparedness, penalties) I agree wholeheartedly with (said it in many posts). You called Bennett a spoiled brat. You’ve called Sherman that as well. I don’t agree and find the statements lacking perspective.
I think the whole NFL lacks perspective in reality and maybe that’s the source of my concern
We are good.

Losing is one thing, but the lack of discipline on this team, and spoiled tantrums by a few of it's leaders is sickening. Graham, Bennett, Ifedi, Richardson, Jefferson....I'm talking to you. I seriously hope the NFL throws the book at us and we get what is deserved for that shit show of sportsmanship. It will take hitting bottom to bring about change, and sadly I doubt we are quite at bottom. I've purchased no new gear this year, and am considering turning them off on Sundays for the first time in 41 years.
I do know that "this too shall pass" when it comes to feelings. I just have no idea when at this point.

Did you feel this way when we lost the SB? THey were just as much a bunch of sore losers than as they are now.
THis would have been the outcome if the lost the NFCC to SF a few years ago... That's just the DNA of the players on the team. They're all hyper competitive, sore loser... and you know what, I am the same way so it's hard for me to blame them.
I hear ya. I’m ready for a new coaching staff and major turnover on the team.Seymour":2yg3qkod said:This is not just about W's or L's, it is about buying in, being entertained, and feeling a part of something good.
I'll start with I've been a fan since '76. I've seen all the bad years where you knew there was little chance of a W, but you watched to see that catch by Largent, or run by Warner, or 3rd down conversion by Dr. Dan, and even the occasional upset. We didn't expect much but just had hope that we'd one day put it together.
Fast forward to now. The product I'm watching now is extremely irritating for me to watch. We make the same mistakes, game after game, and at a coaching level year after year. We know the team has the ability to put it all together, but for a number of reason just doesn't. Some fans want to say, Refs, Injuries, ect., they want to point everywhere but inside the organization.
I say this lies squarely on Pete. His free form style is catching up to him. His lack of adjustments to changing circumstances and holding his coaching staff accountable has lost the respect of at least some players.

I miss those days!
Good times!
At least the Hawks won two rings back to back! Oh wait...
