1) Who said anything about leadership? Furthermore, how has Todd Haley demonstrated leadership? Is mother****ing players and flipping off fans leadership just because it's tough? At what point does that mutate to a loss of control?

Well, I think I mentioned it first ... that we (as a team) were lacking leadership. You then commented on it in a later post.
As for the "control" issue ... it's interesting to me that people have made such a big deal of the possibility that Haley would "lose control" or "lose the players" or "lose the lockerroom". Bowe's situation has been an example of this. Actually, there's no evidence of that, whatsoever. In fact, public evidence seems to indicate just the opposite.
It's as though the media says, "Haley's a duck!". The next thing you know, the fans are looking for feathers.

2) That's a complete dodge. I said nothing about the team doing a 180. What I'm looking for are signs that the barge is being slowly turned around. I see it from a few players, but from none of the sacred cows of the new regime. How does that inspire confidence?

The "signs" you seek may not be obvious (I thought I already said this?). In fact, they may not exist at all. Why? We've been over this a million, freaking times ... we were and are horrific, it's too early, Pioli and Haley are rookies ... (nope ... I'm not typing all that crap out again).

3) Where was this "rookie" excuse when people thought we would challenge for .500 based on coaching and Pioli alone last year? Why are the goalposts now being moved?
|
So ... let me get this straight ... you want me to defend what other people said about .500 records in 2009? Please. Do you think me a fool?

4)FAX, other than fat camp, what makes you think that this team is any more disciplined than past teams? On the field they displayed a lot less discipline than past years, and so did the coach, who couldn't even restrain himself from telling a paying customer to **** off.
That's discipline?
Ok.

I think that Haley has, in fact, brought discipline. I think the conditioning regimen is an example of this. I think his benching of Bowe and DJ are examples, as well.
Don't get your feelings hurt by Haley's terrible, fiery temper. Just avert your eyes, if you must.
