I don’t expect us to win every week.But I do expect us to compete every week.Somehow, as Eels fans, we’ve been conditioned to lower the bar.To accept losses. To become numb to them.We talk ourselves into it every season.“Injuries.” “They’re…

Should sign mannah on a 10 yr contract. Lock him in for life!

  He's already contracted until he's nearly 32. That's long enough for most players.

That Mannah deal will no doubt get some people here fired up.

  That Mannah deal was struck a long time ago, ive been blowing up about it all year and Timmy must have been blowing some serious cock to get that deal, its beyond a joke.
  
  If Tim really cares about this place he will retire come seasons end.
