This thread, or any of the uncountable others has absolutly nothing to do with skin color. I am shocked it was even brought up. I understand the thoughts and premise behind the post and regretfully can agree to a limit. Granted, Herm is the HC and has ultimate responsibility. I do believe that lack of leadership will bring any team down. I have great respect for Herm, but think that there are holes in his staff, just as there are in the team. I do think he is stubborn about some of his coaching as seen in players out of the best position for them. I also see problems with his game plan direction. I think that has hurt our team's chances to win. We consistently show things to the other teams to telegraph what we are doing. Our own coaches should see that at practice, not the opposing team. I also envy teams that had a Strahan, or a Lewis, or a Favre that sparked and motivivated the team on the field of play. We need that player to come from somewhere. The desire for success of this team has nothing to do with race, but it has everything to do with the heart of those who lead it. Honestly, this has gone into nutcase land.

No matter what color the guy is he isn't getting the job done. We have young guys who could come in and fill those spots on the right side of the line better than the ones we have in there and they refuse to give them a chance. I have a problem with them not doing anything about our QB situation. None of that has to do with race. These are things I'm sure every person here are thinking about. Does that make us Racist AngryJesus? What does any of this have to do with racism? No matter what color the guy is he isn’t getting the job done.

Waters and Tony G more vocal leaders? Waters should at least get into Sackintosh's and Jones' faces and fire them up a little bit. Because right now they both suck. I mean we know LJ is going to pout... but that doesn't mean some of our other vetrans can't be vocal. I remember when I was watching the Denver game I was thinking, these guys actually look excited to play today. I hadn't seen that in a while. That never really happened against Carolina. They all looked like they knew they were beat after the first quarter. There was no spark the entire game. Why aren’t B. Waters and Tony G more vocal leaders?

Regardless of whether you believe Herm can win ultimately bring us a championship, do you have any notion of how far it would set this team back to replace Herm now? Or even next year? We've committed to a rebuild and I highly doubt there is any coach out there that could do any better. Do the coaches own a big part of the blame for what happened last Sunday? Sure. However, the biggest share of the blame is on the players themselves - they didn't even show up.
