Bad Choices Make Bad Football Teams: The Eric Mangini Edition

Posted: 2nd October 2009 by Sam Ingro in NFL
There's been a lot of complaining over Eric Mangini the last few weeks. And why shouldn't there be? Each game we look a little bit worse, this isn't progress, it's a disaster. It's not that we don't have the ability or talent to win, Mangini just isn't allowing the talent to play due to his pre-existing player loyalties.

After two games, this team looks no better than when we went 4-12 last season; I dare say we're looking worse. There was such promise in the preseason, so how can that possibly be?We're a different team than in the preseason. We're stubborn, we're ...
