If they're games they should be winning, why aren't they then? I think we're not used to seeing competitive football here and this is what competitive football looks like at the NFL level. You're going to have your heart ripped out of your chest in close losses when you have a new staff in place with a lot of new faces also trying to learn their system, their roles and building that chemistry they need to be clutch. 

Jack Del Rio was 5 - 11 his first year here. Then they went 9 - 7, 12 - 4, 8 - 8, 11 - 5. There's going to be growing pains man. That's the price you have to pay for a competent product. I am just glad this team is not getting absolutely buried or left out to rot in first halves of games this year. 

It's a step in the right direction. The success will come. As Lawrence and Pederson develop and learn together, the rest of the team will follow suit. They just have to keep building around him. We're going to need more pieces for sure. We're hurting on the front lines defensively, I think, unfortunately, there's still more work to be done on the offensive line, the secondary also needs to be addressed and as much as I like Marvin Jones, Zay Jones & Christian Kirk? Have to admit. We really do need a bigger target on the outside for Lawrence at WR. 

I still think they can pull out six wins this year.
