Quote:Article was pointless. Most of the folks over there now are self described and appointed "Fantasy Leauge" guru's and somehow eye popping stats and fantasy points mean this team or that team are better than we think they are. It's been pointed out. But this team is still terrible. 1 - 5 is terrible. It's the same process we've seen now over the last six years from the front office. Garbage in, garbage out.


Sure, Bortles has great passing numbers. Sure, he's got a 2:1 TD/INT ratio. What's NOT being said is just how NASTY those interceptions have been this year. He's thrown a pair of pick sixes this year which when you look at the final score resulted in the difference between either having a tied game or the lead. He's thrown another pair or a trio of interceptions just before half-time or inside the redzone leaving more points on the field or swinging the momentum to the opponent. With that said. I am hopeful. He's a lot better this year than he was last year. If the offense was balanced he'd be better. He's still our franchise QB in my eyes. Something we've been dying to say around here for nearly a decade.


The defense is just pathetic. No pass rush. Inconsistent secondary play BECAUSE of that very same lack of pass rush. And I don't know why it's an issue. I really don't. We didn't lose any of the personnel that helped our sack totals from last year. If anything, we added to it with Skuta and Odrick. Marks just got back. So I can understand somewhat of a lack up the middle. But where is Clemons and Davis at? Branch? Smith? We need to see something off the edge and it's just not there. You have to look at the coaching staff for that in my opinion.


All of the issues this team has had this year literally starts up front. The front four on defense is terrible. The offensive lineman are very inconistent in pass protection, especially in run blocking. No running game to take pressure off your QB and no lanes for the RB to squeeze through as well. We've had maybe one significant setback in Linder going on IR but even the beginning of the year when he was in the line-up we still struggled. You brought in Doug Marone to help get the lineman shored up. Still not seeing that pay dividends.


It's year three. Bradley is 8 - 30 headed into this game against BUF in London. I expected 7 - 9, maybe 8 - 8 this year but we're looking at enother 3 - 13 or 4 - 12 record. Talent is here on this team. Coaching is the hindering factor here. No halftime adjustments, you're just now seeing House being offered up as the first sacrificial lamb to cover Gus' hide for one week and there will be more down the road I am sure now. But these are guys you lobbied for during the off-season and this is your team now by all accounts. You have very few Gene Smith leftovers on this roster.


Just don't know how many more excuses the inside and outside media outlets and a few people of this oblivious fanbase can possibly come up with now...
