1-6 is very serious

I didn't expect us to lose to the Broncos, but I knew it was going to be close. I think people should give Zampese at least a few games with Eifert back before saying our offense is going to suck.

A big problem with our offensive game plan has beenbus trying to use Uzoma like he's Eifert when he's clearly not. I think this offense will start rolling here soon. I'm hoping that it will be fixed by the Patriots game, but idk.

The defense really hasn't been that bad. Our secondary played well the first two games, but played poorly in the Broncos game in the 2nd half. I think our secondary will be fine. I think that was just a "fluke" that they played that bad (or at least I hope). The run defense has been bad the first two games, but played well the 3rd. I think with Burfict back we have a good run defense.

I'm not going to panic with this team unless we continue to look bad with both Eifert and Burfict back, which I don't think will happen. I still think we go 11-5 or 12-4 this year. We just had most of our hard games in the first 6 games (If I had to bet we go 3-3). The last 10 I think we only lose about 2 games. Especially when our win/loss record is extremely good the last 8 games of the season. Last year was the only year we sputtered in the end (we had a backup QB in to be fair).

I agree 100%, I have been saying to myself that we will be so much better by the end of the year than the beginning. So many new pieces in place, players and coaches. However with all the mistakes we made Sunday and with all the questionable coaching decisions, and questionable refs calls, even missing 2 of our Pro bowl players in Eifert and Burfict, we still took the Superbowl Champs to the test, 4th quarter contest. We will get stronger as the year goes on!
