  • I’m confused why we keep saying we are a talented team? Starting last year our OL was in serious decline and it is one even worse this year. It Witfs and no one else. Our star LBs have aged and are now not the force they were two+ years ago. Our secondary is talented so I will definitely agree they are underachieving. Our DL doesn’t get enough pressure. Our WR1 and WR2 are great but we have practice player level WRs after that. Our TE group is meh. Baker is playing well but he’s not a guy who can make players around him better. We are an average talented team playing a division championship schedule so 4-7 is not surprising.

    My point is not many HCs could do better with this hand that was dealt.








  • My heart is angry and wants to grab a pitch fork and go after everybody in charge of this team. My head says is there really any coach that could have taken this team to better than 5-5 or 6-4 (at best) under these same circumstances? I can name maybe two or three coaches who might be able to eke out a few more wins with our personnel issues given our salary cap situation. I mean firing Bowles might makes us all feel better but it’s not like anyone else could do much better with the hand dealt this year.

    Think back to Brady’s first year when we went all-in for the super bowl, knowing that it is not a good long term strategy. When we won a SB, we all said it was worth it even knowing that we were mortgaging the future. Now that the future is here, many of us seem to be forgetting we knew that it was all going to have to be torn down and start over. I am reminding myself that 4-6 is actually not unexpected given the circumstances.
