This team currently does not have the character and fortitude to overcome these odds.  We will be relegated to  playing spoiler for other teams playoff hopes.  I guess that's something.

0-3 is horrible, but the stat is definitely misleading. Think we should be looking at 2020 and onwards since there now is 17 games, as opposed to 16. This clearly changes things drastically. The worst thing is, we just will look back on these past 2 games as "ah should of won those". The offense needs some way to move the chains. 3rd and 2 or 1 needs to be more automatic, seems like we NEVER can run for the first down on those. The short passing game really shouldn't be this off either with Kirk and Engram. Every good team can consistently convert on 3rd and short. We clearly cannot. That needs to change or the season is lost.

This is a good point...  Just to add to it...  After the Bills loss, which I think is inevitable, we have the Texans, clots, bears, and patriots.  Those are 4 winnable games, so long as the offensive coaching actually can wake the [BLEEP] up.  We could very well be 4-3 before Halloween.  Worst case, 3-4 if we lose to the Texans.  

4-3, or 3-4 puts us right in the middle of a wildcard push.  10 wins.  10 wins will get us to the playoffs.
