This team is cooked.

I'm worried by how no-one is stepping up to be a difference maker right now. I get players have good and bad stretches but no one is making big plays or having big games. Everyone seems low on confidence right now and struggling. I do think a W would make a world of difference confidence wise but we're really struggling in all areas right now.

If you could pick any team to play right now, it would be a 2-13 team so we have no excuses next Sunday. I just don't know how this team is behind the scenes right now. How they come out next week will tell us a lot.

Boselli and Lageman talked about this on the radio broadcast. In the 3rd quarter Bucky Brooks said during halftime the players were lollygagging around and wouldn't form up into a team circle. They seemed disinterested in what anyone had to say. Lags and Boselli took off from there to talk about leadership. They were saying leadership is more than just talking, it involves action, and no one is stepping into that role. They said Pederson needs to do his job but it's up to the players to make the changes necessary to get things back on track. 

Pederson can talk all day long about the process and what needs to be done, etc., but at the end of the day the players have to care enough to execute and it seems as if they don't. It seems Doug has lost the locker room and that's scary. 

Where did things go wrong? Was it one thing or a cumulative effect? When did things go wrong that it would come to this?
