Are they the biggest, most glaring issue? Yes. However, last night had some major mental mistakes as well.
The 1st timeout we used in the 1st half was because we only had 10 on the field for defense. Later in I think the 3rd quarter we fielded a punt with only 10 guys on the field as well. Those are both mental mistakes by either coaches or players and are really inexcusable.
Add to that the costly drops, fumble in the red zone and INT in the end zone, that adds up to a team that doesn’t win.
With how bad the receivers are, there are plenty of other (completely solvable) mistakes that if they don’t happen, allow us to win that game.
The receivers are who they are, but the lack of talent can still be covered up if the team eliminates other mistakes, and that still gives me a bit of hope that we can get back to the top.
No, they are not the only reason but they are a huge part of it. The turnovers, and all the yellow flags being called on us. I could live with the amount of flags if the wideouts would just start catching the ball.
