What if we lost the first 10? Would that be the end of Brown? If not, would they be in danger of missing the playoffs altogether? That would be one of the biggest disappointments in history.

I'm thinking we'll get our first win on Sunday vs Detroit....but nothing is guaranteed with mike brown.

Also, can anybody tell me what happened to Nash? Was he walking? How serious is this injury? Myf riend told me "knee injury" and I cringed...immediately thought of Karl Malone in 2004.

7-21 in the last 28.......on the way to 7-22.

Where did we lose Fisher in that streak?.....

This spans from the OT win last year vs. Dallas in the regular season, through the playoffs, preseason and these 2 games.

That's a scary thought, because Dwight has the option to bail this offseason.

Yeah, I mean I know it's early, but if we're thinking WTH is going on here, they must be thinking something similar. It's still early and wins will erase that mindset but man, if we don't have a championship caliber season, D12 could bail for greener pastures.
