Yeah, what a hole we put ourselves in this year?  How can we ever recover?  

(Ackshully we were 3-6 last year at this point and then lost to go to 3-7.  We were never 2-7.)

This is why it's not the time to panic. Especially after getting beat senseless by arguably the class of the NFC Conference. All we really learned on Sunday was the following:

1. Our team is a good team, good, not great. Good teams can win divisions, good teams can make it into the post season, good teams can even win a play-off game or two with a few lucky breaks. They won't go deep though.

2. Our areas of weakness, which have been overstated and mentioned on here since last year and now this year, it was put on display on Sunday and FULLY exposed for how awful it really is. 

It's an old saying but it's always ringed true. It starts in the trenches. We simply do not have enough power, dominance and consistency on the defensive line and offensive line to seriously challenge the top tier teams in the NFL.

3. It's all Lawrence's fault. Nobody wants to hear excuses. He has to play above the X's and O's. He has to play above his counterparts. He has to play better than the play calling. He has to make a perfect pass on every attempt. He has to run with the football when there's yards to be had in front of him. He has to stop turning the football over like Josh Allen. 3 points is awful to look at. It's his fault.
