Blown out wk 7 at Baltimore. Pretty shoddy win against a terrible Vegas team on MNF wk 8. Then the bye. Barely squeaked by the Chargers where the D was total garbage in wk 10. Barely squeaked by awful Chicago in the same fashion in wk 11. Then today, another garbage showing from both Goff and the defense, when the team should have been pumped up to win at home against their nemesis on Thanksgiving before a national audience for the first time since 2016. They just aren’t as good as we all had hoped. The Minnesota games are going to be huge. They will probably make the playoffs, but will lose against Dallas, Philly, or SF.
I’m glad people are starting to realize this and not just drinking the kool-aid endlessly. D has fully regressed to last year’s lows, making the good games look like more of an aberration than a genuine turnaround. Offense is better overall than last year with dmont, gibbs, laporta, and jamo, but Goff’s alter-ego Goof has been coming out a lot more lately.
I’m not feeling good about our upcoming games. We could very easily go .500 down the stretch and lose the division to the vikings. I don’t expect us to do anything in the playoffs, but being a wild card and going on the road doesn’t exactly help.
