It's not like this was a franchise that was an HC or QB away from playoff contention. It's going to take time to build. It's going to be rough going along the way. On top of that, I also have to remind myself that so much change in one offseason is going to lead to a lot of wrinkles in need of ironing out. The purpose of the preseason is not to obliterate the opponent, it's to evaluate the roster, identify plays and schemes that suit the players, and be ready for when the games actually matter. If the final score was that important, TLaw and the starters would be playing into the fourth quarter every game.

Anyone who expected us to be instantly fixed with either new coaches, new GM or even new QB was fooling themselves. At this stage all we can do is hope that we got at least one of the choices right, and have something positive to build upon.

Be patient. If we did hit on at least one, it will get better.
