Quote:I thought for sure after 2 offseasons we would see an actual NFL football team on the field. Don't you homers get it? Watch the other crappy teams in the league. They occasionaly move the ball on offense and make stops on defense. Our team goes out there and gets whooped every single play. It's not even a football game most weeks, it's a massacre. It's like watching Alabama play a high school team.

 

We occasionally move the ball on offense and make stops on defense.  Actually, we're tied for second in sacks right now.  We are still getting blown out but it is mostly due to mistakes on offense (especially in the WAS game) and really crazy blown coverages resulting in big plays on defense.  Mental mistakes, not physical mismatches.  That's why the scores have seemed so one sided.  Bradley spoke about this.  It's not being a homer to say, once the mental mistakes on defense are eliminated, these scores will be much, much closer.  It's also not outrageous to say that once the OL starts playing better the offense as a whole will start scoring more points.

 

The problems on the OL though I'm worried *are* due to physical mismatches.  If this is the case, then we're going to have problems scoring points all year but I'm confident the defense can keep us in games once they learn the bleeepin' playbook (see my early post about Roy Miller's comments).
