I really can't stand that people hate when our players were unhappy after this move. The Tunsil move was being removed for days and there were headlines that the team would "revolt" if that were to happen. And I just don't understand why the heck the players wouldn't. We were never expected to compete last year but getting rid of Tunsil, pretty much our only starting caliber linemen, 100 percent guaranteed it. And the players, who had working the butts off through camp with at least the promise of some enjoyable, if likely losing in the end, football ahead.
Look at what happened afterwards. We lose by like a combined hundred points in the first two games - the worst two games in modern NFL history. Our starting RB, who was really just in a revolving door of ineffective runners, averaged 2 YPC. Our QB, who didn't even start three games, led the team in rushing. We were historically bad at running the ball. Our other young QB spent three games barely being able to get rid of the ball before a defensive linemen before being blasted. Sometimes we couldn't even block well enough to get a handoff done.
Some people on here want Ned Flanders, completely infallible saints on their team, who never complain no matter what. Myself, I kind of like guys who want to do well and want to win, and get rightfully ticked off when the team puts a dagger in its roster right before week one. I would be right there with the ticked off guys.
