I'm not sure what the balance is. Even the most critical fan can admit that this team is better. If you look at the individual stats you can see many players have improved dramatically. However, even with the improvements, we still aren't winning, scoring, or stopping other teams from scoring. So, we have the talent, but not the aggressive nature on offense, defense, and special teams. It very might be a coaching issue as to why we aren't being able to utilize the talent we have. On the other end, players also have to perfom. Padding numbers in garbage time is not performance. Many of our players don't seem to have that killer instinct and they are playing just for the paycheck. Obviously winning 1 game so far this year is a sure way to discourage your team.

 

So, do we have a better team? Yes. By far.

 

Does that trump the badness of our season? Not sure. Yes, we still suck. Yes, we still cannot win. Yes, we are still last in points and points against. It's pretty confusing as to why we can't win more with the individual talent we have.
