Mark,
Who is Maxwell. Where do we find these guys -- these no-names. Each day this franchise makes me more sick. On another note...why don't they bench Rudi (2nd string) and start Watson. ARE THE COACHES NOT WATCHING THE SAME GAME WE ARE...THIS IS MAKING ME SICK.

Mark this has to be one of the most pathetic front offices in the history of the game. Ethan kilmer and tab perry should have been put on IR in week 3! Here we are in week 6 and we still can't balance the roster! why has nobody in the front office tried to get an establised backup from another team via trade? We have extra picks in the later rounds of next years's draft, why not trade to get someone that CAN play football! What's next? We gonna bring in Steve francis(blast from the horrible past)? maybe kevin Greene...lol This organisation better go to church more often cause they seem to be on a wing and a prayer and thus you have 1-4!

Could we try and get Earl Everett back? I know he is on Atlanta's Parctice Squad. He would aleast know the system a little since he was here for trainning camp.

8:52 anon >> front office (what's that). The GM should step in! Oh, never mind, we don't have one - if we did, his salary would come out of the Brown-family-lawyer bank accounts, and that ain't NEVER going to happen. We're screwed - find another team or sport.

So which is it...the injuries or lack of discipline that's resulted in the poor start? National media seems to be following the scripted talking points provided them. Marvin didn't help himself or the team reacently within comments contrary to the media. Any team with 3 suspensions of starters is going to struggle, but so is any team that's undisiplined. I believe we'll wake up to the reality that it's both the off-field behavior AND the injuries.
