It continues to be a case where the players can't make the plays when they need to and/or the coaches are not able to develop a scheme or put the right players in the right position in order to make a play. Both are at fault, but I don't think expecting more and asking for someone to be held accountable for 7 years of average to downright awful play is overreacting. Kubiak has shown me that, yes, he can improve a team from awful to average, but I see nothing that indicates he has the wherewithal to take it to the next level. Like they say, you can't fire the players. I expect and want more than average.

I think you are missing his point. We have a competitive football team. We are not a dynasty, those are few and far between (and we are too young for that anyway), but we ARE a competitive team. The ball has not bounced, or been kicked, our way so far, but who's to say it won't over the next 6. All I know is after 8 years of being in that stadium this was the first time, that I can recall, that:
A - There were still a HUGE number of people in the stands for the final kick
B - With the exception of the Jets game, we have been in EVERY game we have played, again, ball hasn't bounced our way but it will sooner or later, that is what the NFL is built on
C - This is the best value that I have received for my entertainment dollar since the teams inception.

I still believe that we are capable of beating every team remaining on our schedule, but I realize that we are capable of losing to every team remaining on our schedule.

Time will tell, but I haven't heard a fat lady yet.......
