I would say they 100% should have beaten Denver. That would put us at 3-6. Based on how Eberflus prepped the team for week 1 vs Packers (or lack thereof), that game was at least winnable. The fallout from losing vs GB was a clear distraction heading into Tampa.
Momentum in the NFL is underrated. The team was in total disarray heading into KC. We do not beat KC with the roster we have, I’m not saying that at all. However, coming off a beating but still 2-1, the mood would be considerably different than it is being 0-3.
The reason we started so poorly was how little the 1st team played in the pre-season. Anyone saying this is a playoff team is probably wrong. However the NFL is so fluid that anything can happen. Getting into the WC weekend should have been at least on the table.
Look at Cleveland beating the 49ers in week 6. SF was undefeated and Cleveland was starting a QB we determined wasn’t good enough to make our roster. Anything can happen, so if the Bears back into the playoffs, then 60 minutes later we all find out.

This team should not be 2-7.
