People are sleeping on how incredible the roster turnover was this last offseason (plus Leonard Williams at the trade deadline). On paper they improved significantly at almost every position while retaining all their good players and continuity at QB. And yet, after 10 games, they have the same record as last year, but with a much more difficult remaining schedule than last year.
So why aren’t they better?

They are better? Defense has improved significantly. Offensive Turnover was mostly bringing in rookies and one new guy in the interior OL, and theyre better (tho the floor was Dogshit and now were below average). Net change of adding evan brown and some rookies and losing Abe lucas has made our offense worse, which, is pretty expected given that Abe is pretty stout on the right side
