I think from week 1, this team has looked poorly coached. We have have tremendous miscues in every game. We consistently shot ourselves in the foot all year. We would take one step forward and two steps back. It's honestly difficult to fathom how so many mistakes were made week after week.

If it's coaching, what are we doing during practice? How are we not tightening these things up all year? How was this never an area of emphasis, and if it was, how did we do such a poor job of fixing it?

If it's the players, how are they not responding to the coaching? How do we not have guys who knows how to play ball at this point in their lives? Why are we running wrong routes, fumbling, sailing passes, missing gaps, missing tackles, committing horrible penalties?

I think that last year showed a lot of positive momentum to end the year. We were on the upswing. This season is the exact opposite, and I think that this means that a lot of things have to be called into question.

Obviously, our interior on both sides of the ball is a huge problem. But Trevor has a lot of ball security issues. He fumbles like crazy and throws far too many INTs. I know that he's been injured, but he has been off target all season. He makes huge wow plays and then will throw the stupidest INTs. It's maddening. He has to get some consistency.

Our playcalling is highly suspect. Our defense will play lights out and then forget how to tackle.

Frankly, I do not feel like we are going in a positive direction at this time. Season ending losses like this tend to weigh on a team. We've looked out of sorts all year--even when we were winning. Our giveaways just finally caught up with us.
