Quote:I think Oakland is a middle of the pack team and the difference here is that they're beating the teams they should. We should be 3-2 right now because we definitely should have beaten the Ravens. They gave the Jags every chance to win and the Jags blew it.

 

I wouldn't take that small group of people thinking this team is playing well (even though the D is playing well) as the majority.

 

Devil's advocate... you said "I don't think a single person"... :p

 

Oakland is absolutely a Middle of the Pack team.  That's good enough for 4-2 and leading their division. 

 

And yes, that's where I had hoped we would be this year... but we're not.

 

As for the Ravens... well... that kind of proves my point... they basically TRIED to lose and we still couldn't get the W.

 

Look at the Bears game... if not for the DB falling down, Benn would not have been able to get back up and run 30 yards for the winning TD.

 

For every instance of "If X had happened.." that is used for the Packers and Ravens loss, you can find the opposite arguments in the Indy and Chicago wins.

 

I don't believe in the "We SHOULD be" anything other than what we are.  Could have, should have, would have, didn't. 

 

It's maddening... we HAVE the talent.  That's painfully obvious.  We're just not executing.
