    Misplaced from the "food" thread.  Or are you rebelling against attempted thought control?

    How would you feel if we were something like 1-7 at the split?

    I'd feel we need to fire the bean counters in the FO for not getting 1-6-1 calculated properly at the split.?

    EDIT: But more seriously it all depends on what happens in those games that lead to losses. Were there a lot of key injuries, did the undisciplined penalties continue, did Hue waste TO so we ended up having no time to score at the end, etc. Or did we really play well and better teams just barely get us by some quirk of fate. All depends.

    Well, I think if we go to 0 -1-1 the buzz will heat up. I really do think Hue is now on a hot seat.

    Figured the latter....and that it'd be a better topic than the OP

  • don't you people have fuking jobs

  • I think it depends on how badly we lose.  You have to think the Saints will be reeling after losing to Tampa Bay.  And we also have a lot to prove.  But it is a road game and they can be tough, especially with a team that is predicted to make it to the playoffs.  If we lose by a FG or less, then I would say it's ok.  Anything more, I might have concerns.  Now if our Oline doesn't block better, then it could really get ugly.

    Syd,

    since you asked. I own a water technology company. I design and sell water treatment/wastewater treatment systems to industry and municipalities. So far this year I have placed about $4.2 MM of equipment with some of my longtime clients. I sold 5 systems, and a bunch of expendable items from my desk, at my home. I probably worked 160 - 200 hours at that business. I hire out installation groups and sell a service contract that they execute and pay me a fee. So, for the most part, I work maybe 6 weeks out of the year at this. I also perform as a keynote speaker on water issues 6 - 8 times per year. I get a nice fee, 4 of the water venues are in Vegas, so the Missus and I get 4 Vegas vacations on someone else's nickel every year. 

    Unfortunately, a colleague of mine and I invented a new water technology a couple years ago. It is pretty exciting. The raw material comes from a crop waste that farmers give away, and it has the outlook of solving water problems, literally for 100's of millions of people. I say, unfortunately, because we have just accepted venture funding to launch the company. As a principal in the corporation, yuck.....I now have go back to work, albeit more as a figurehead and diplomat. So, I guess that is my Job.

    As for the other guys, I don't know. Do you have a job? Just curious, Do you have teeth? ?

    Well, if you really were a panhandler, yeah, I could help, and do.

  • Haslam over compensated by not firing Hue at the end of last season. He had become labeled as an owner with an itchy trigger finger, after creating a revolving door situation for head coaches in Cleveland. That is something that the local and national media created, so they could slap another negative on anything Cleveland. If this had been the Modell ownership, he would have been gone by game 8 of his first season. He obviously is not HC material, and never will be. I would like to think that Hue is on a short leash, but I've stopped trying to predict the Haslams. I would think at this point, after the success they have achieved in business, they would not be so concerned with how the media perceives them. My absolute biggest concern at this moment, is that there will be a power struggle between Haley / Williams and Hue, and the Haslams will side with Hue, and fire the coordinators.

    Reporting facts is not creating anything. 

    The Haslams rightfully earned their 'itchy trigger finger" reputation. Chudzinski got ONE year, Pettine got TWO years.

    This is the thinking that keeps Hue employed. At 1 - 31 he would have rightfully been fired by any other owner.

    That's never the way it works. This is Hue's ship, and if it starts taking on water and sinking (with a bad record) he's going down with it. Either Haley or Williams will be promoted as interim head coach, I guarantee it.

    It's obvious to me that Hue had some of his power removed. Dorsey is doing the roster, and I doubt hiring Haley was entirely Jackson's idea.
