I will make you a map. On the map will be directions to a sense of humor. Hope you find it.

I believe 57 wants to discuss players and offensive and defensive schemes. What is working and what doesn't. Recruiting and upcoming matchups. If that is the case, I second it.
I agree with the positive threads that people could start such as, "what bowl will we land when we win the next two?", "with our plethora of great yound WR's, who's your breakout pick for 2014?", "From Our RB stable, who should get most carries next year?", etc.
But we are living in the present, and presently we are not doing a lot of things very well on the football field. The defense and sometimes our running game are the only constant positives. We continue to see the special team blunders. We continue to see teams score right before halftime. Up until the last few weeks, we've seen out HC basically pack it in before the 4th quarter. People recognizing these issues and bringing them here for discussion is not negative. It's reality, and the reality is our team has a lot of negative attributes at this point under Mullen. They can be corrected, as we have seen with the team playing a full 60 minutes the last 3 weeks. But there comes a point when you stop giving someone chances to correct mistakes. You wouldn't keep an employee who continued to cost you $ off of your bottom line, for simple, easy to correct mistakes, would you? It's the same with this team. The special teams issues have been a recurring theme the since Mullen has been here. And his constant tweaking and changing out punters/kickers week to week doesn't help. Have we seen any positive "In Game" results the last 2 months from his constant toying with the SP teams? I haven't seen any and I've been to all but 3 games this year.
We as fans see the talent we have, and expect better results. That's not negative. If anything it's positive because we do not want mediocrity to be accepted.
