Time to break out the paper bags (1 Viewer)

[ilvdsnts]

Man, I am glad they stopped making/selling whatever it was that was used to make those cardboard paper planes shown at the end. If you sat in the plaza, those things were sharp pointed missiles that could tag you at any time. Saw more than one person get bloodied

The only time the bags were really a thing was the last half of the 1980 season, where we appeared to be on our way to an 0-16 record. Since then every time the team loses 3 in a row, some simp thinks it's cute to suggest it---but I've been a season ticket holder since 2001, have yet to see a bag

Yeah, the bags were started in the midst of the 1-15 season when we got to around 0-7. Keep in mind at that point the franchise was in their 14th year with ONE .500 season to its name and the rest averaging less than 4 wins per year for the other 12. So it was a whole level of suck that this team is not even close to being worthy of. Check back with me in the year 2035, and if we still haven't gotten back to the playoffs by then, maybe I'll consider breaking out the bags again, til then, its not even close to the level of deserving bags.

Man we really are a spoiled fanbase. One bad year and some of us are ready to bring back the bags?

It's not just the "bad year", and losing. It's the way we are losing (coaching, play calling).

I still hear bullshirt today from other teams fans about paper bags.

We still hear it from our own "fans."

 

[Snakehead]

No bags for me.

I heard there's a new trend to wear a plastic bag on your head to see how many deep breaths you can take. It's supposed to be a real knockout.

Great coaching don’t you think (Sarcasm)

And how many bad years has Dennis Allen had? Remember the Raiders?

I’ve read some posts on this site, and I’m not sure some folks have been using plastic bags.

Yea, why do yall think teams are bad? It's not because they have great coaches and players and teams. It's ONE year so far. We're not the Browns/Lions/Jets etc. type of franchise just yet. I'm just sayin we need to chill. Bad teams lose, and this is a bad team. We knew this was a possibility, if not likelyhood, all offseason. Let's give it at least a few years before we start griping this bad.

But to act like this franchise is doomed to two decades of losing after transitioning from a long time coach?
Seriously? This is the opposite of Cowboys syndrome.

4 more years? Trust the process?

Wear a bag, don't show up. Whatever. Anyone who does so loses my respect. I don't find it funny or a way to send a message to the ownership. Team hits a low point and you abandon them to treat them like a joke? At least during the 80s the team had shown a consistent level of putrid performance. This team still has quality players worthy of support and is really the first year the bottom truly fell out.

But again, do as you will. This'll be the only time I acknowledge it. Here anyway.

100%... Just don't show up if your intent is to embarrass our team..... You (paperbagger) are not worth it

Those of us that have bled for this team for several decades deserve better and have earned the right to demand it.

We won a super bowl. If you're still "bleeding" I suggest quit watching or following the team so you can heal.

We are beating ourselves in many cases. Not being able to correct sloppy play is a coaching issue.
