In some ways I would agree and disagree with that. As my career went on the heart, desire, and "want to" only increased as we brought in players with better attitude. And you see that improving this season. Though during games some guys may have quit, thinking "here we go again", that NEVER happened on an entire season. That is the great thing about football, there is always next week. Reminder: in 2001, we started 1-4, and rallied to win 5 of our last 6 for the first winning season in over 20 years. Not exactly quitting.
As far as this season, the attitude has changed. On defense we saw it all year and offense it took time to start clicking. Make a kick here, catch a pass there, catch a punt (or snap) every once in awhile and we may not be crying in our beers. It not only would have made a difference in the games, but it would have drastically changed their attitude and outlook. It can, and should, only get better next year. We will have holes to fill, but at the same time we will be experienced. It will make for a good mix. Martin and this staff will have the answers.
On another note, after moving to Detroit I was looking forward to the Flashes at the MAC Championship and even the Motor City Bowl. Didn't quite work out yet.

Still going this year though, looking forward to a good one on Thursday night.
