Quote:When we thought we were turning the corner this year with wins over Indy and Chicago, we turned around and were outscored 57-6 in the 1st half of the next 3 games.

 

I bet if we go back and look at Gus' 14 wins, approximately half of them would be against backup QBs.  Heck, KC's QB, RB, and WR were out and their TE was ejected in the 1st half and we still lost.  That's not turning the corner.

 

I think that the tipping point was a combination of the horrible loss at home to the Raiders (the game wasn't as close as the final score) and the total meltdown in the first half of the Titans game.  I kind of think that at that point the "writing was on the wall" regarding the remainder of the season.

 

In some ways this team reminds me of the 2013 Texans.  Prior to that season the Texans were favored to make it to The Super Bowl and ended up finishing 2-14.  Prior to this season many predicted that the Jaguars would win the AFCS and were contenders for The Super Bowl.  Could some of that pre-season hype have gotten into the heads of a young team?  Possibly.  Quite frankly, I don't know if we will win another game this season.  Every opponent left on the schedule is playing for a playoff spot.
