Sunday showed me a few things. 

 A team that on paper that are perceived as not as talented can if they play hard as a team can win any Sunday. 

 Our team during times they were not imitating the Keystone cops were pretty good.  

The offense is not executing well enough for anyone to tell if play calling is good or bad.  Those that pretend to know ?  Well they can have an opinion just like I can. I am not buying any of the reasons so far posted due to execution by the team. (or should I say lack of)

The coaches? Well, none of them has been called off sides yet.  None have just totally missed assignments or tackles. Just how do you coach focus during the game?

What the -- are coaches even out there doing in some of your eyes then? What's the point of even having them to some of you if it's all the players?

These same coaches coached 8 of these 11 offensive starters in the latter half of last season when they played well
These same coaches coached this same defense late last year when they got scrappy and pulled out wins versus tough teams.

Do you live in some fantasyland where football players can't show up and play bad football at times? 

If you want to point our Press Taylor calling 3, 4 maybe 5 less than brilliant plays  - or the staff deciding weirdly to take Tim Jones off of gunner duty because he became the #4 receiver while Zay is out, then great.

But those few things didn't make receivers drop balls they regularly catch. Brenston Buckner didn't tell the defensive front to give a rookie quarterback 5 seconds to throw on every dropback. Phil Rauscher didn't tell Ben Bartch to let DTs blow past him in 1.2 seconds on 70 percent of Trevor's drop backs. 

I mean - if they keep making all those boneheaded mistakes we can start questioning coaching, but that game really smells like an outlier bad performance on every level. 

By the players.
