This is the worst they have looked as far as I know. 15th year here. But very close to last year, and I think '94 when the went 4-0 only to end up 5-11.
But I still believe the talent level is above what we see.
We are -14 in turnovers....Yes good players don't necessarily turn the ball over, and bad ones do, but we've got a bunch of bad breaks above and beyond our bad play (a lot of big hits).
Every week it has been something. Last week it was int return and a blocked field goal.
We've already had a two safety game, etc, etc, etc.
We've got some good core young talent, lets not forget that. But unfortunately we've got plenty of guys who shouldn't be on the team or maybe any nfl roster.
I have to believe we've got all these guys to find out who we should keep and who to let go. Play 10 young guys, find 3 to keep and jettison the rest type mentality. But maybe this is wishful thinking.
Hopefully if next year we can get a good athletic guard who still manages to blow people off the line because he has good feet, a pass rusher or three, and a good-great cover corner, and one more good wr I think we'll be alot better. Of course if any team adds the above they should probably be a good team as well.
But we need a pass rush like aunt jemima needs pancakes.
As for this season
Hopefully we can pull off a couple of upsets like we did w/ GB, and take care of cinci and the bears. If you look at how the nfl's weight has shifted, our so-called easy schedule has gotten a whole lot harder.
Vikings, Panthers, and Seahawks oh my. What a way to end the season.
I was so wrong when I thought we might get some pass rush this season, or at least better than last year. But we finally got a sack by our dl....woo hoo. I'll take 5-11 or 6-10 and be happy now.
