Our main issue is ourselves... WE are our own toughest opponent (well, except maybe the patriots). In almost every game we've lost it might be honestly said that WE did more to lose the game than most of our opponents did to 'win' it. The relative strength or weakness of our opponents really hasn't mattered that much... we lose to 'power houses' and 'dumpster fires' with equal aplomb; it can be truly said that we are equal opportunity losers.

 

So what if Luck is probably out for the rest of the regular season? We've already lost to the colts 40+ year old backup once and we can do it again! The tacks have a better defense than we do folks... and won't it just burn if we lose to Mularky!? We've already lost once to the tinhorns and guess what? We've yet to win a game on the road (not counting London) and you think we're going to go to Baltimore and beat the ravens? Ask not for whom the bell tolls... it tolls for thee, Jaguars. Oh sure... we're gonna 'light up' Brees and Rivers... sure we are..... NOT.

 

I had hoped that we could maybe achieve a 6-10 season... but that was before fowler went down. Oh sure! Feel free to feel good about how we shut down the jets running game.... except at the goal line where it mattered. No... at this point I've adjusted my expectations to a more realistic 4-12 season.... Oh, okay... because I'm a 'homer' I'll give us a 5-11 season. The point is, I've seen nothing from this team that would cause me to expect a sudden turn around in it's habit of 'shooting itself in the foot' that would lead me to believe we will win more than two more games this season...nothing!    

 

I might add that our severe case of 'barney phife syndrome' could've been dealt with by now by a more competent coaching staff... :devil:
