We do need to start winning games, but we're keeping games close. Which means we'll win a few, lose a few. Comes down to Trevor making mistakes or not. This team is growing. Have patience. I know that's hard to have when we haven't sniffed the playoffs in 5 years. But we're making progress.

This team is not growing. It's plateaued. When you keep seeing the same mental errors being made in the same exact quarters of football or the same exact situations on the football field within the red zone. That's not growth. That's your current state of affairs. 

This team is failing to execute in those moments. That's not growth. That's growth that's been stunted. You know what happens when something stunts growth wise? You cut it off somewhere at the stem and you let it try and grow again. This team is not going to grow with some of it's current players on the team. 

"OMG! Caldrac is saying we need to blow it all up!"

No. That's not what I am saying. I am saying you need to find another player or two that's going to force the growth upward instead of continuing to stunt it.
