How many of us predicted we would go full-on Jaguars this year? I didn't expect it to be this bad. It's awful. But what makes it especially frustrating is we're not devoid of talent like most of the other dark years. We have the talent to win games, but we simply can't, for whatever reason of the week. Which is the hallmark of a leaderless team. Doug just wants to get high and sit on the beach.

It would be nice if Trevor had the captainship of Peyton Manning. Such a quality could carry this team in difficult games. But in all honesty, not many QBs possess it in such quantities.

Trevor now needs a top 5 defense, a top 5 rushing attack, a top 5 offensive line and a top 5 WR core that doesn't drop passes and leads in explosive plays in order for this team to win. It has to be perfect. We all know this now. It can't be 73 degrees nor 75 degrees, it MUST be 74 degrees at ALL times in order for him to succeed.

1/9 on 3rd down. An INT gifted to the offense by the defense early, only to be returned right back to sender inside our own 20 that led to 7 points, followed by that fumble inside the 5 yard line that led to another 7 points. 

The defense has been atrocious this year, nobody is arguing this, nobody is defending it. However, again, in the grand scheme of things? Why should I be offended by this defense when it's a new coach and scheme when I can look at the other half of the team and coaching staff and say:

1. Doug Pederson, Press Taylor & Mike McCoy have all been here since day one and it's year three now with the same QB and core trio of players.

2. The offense has been the slow starter, not the defense. The offense was handed three to five punts in the first half as well. They did nothing in return. 

3. The offense continues to turn the football over or kill itself with self inflicted wounds when within striking distance. The ETN fumble, the D'Ernest illegal procedure, the two wide open TD's missed in Houston and the two turnovers in this past Sunday's game, etc. 

Getting awfully tired of one unit being praised or treated like a turd with sprinkles on it while blaming the other unit for the entirety of the team's issues this season. This whole [BLEEP] team. With the exception of Little and Cooke, they all have had moments of dog [BLEEP] out there more than flashes of brilliance. Period.

I know you don't like looking at numbers because you said it's for nerds but try this one out. Which one do you think shares more of the blame? The dead last defense or middle of the road offense?

And Trevor doesn't need top 5 anything. How about an average defense? Considering the amount of money and resources poured into the defense, for them to be dead last is the biggest failure of the season by far.
