The defense can't tackle pretty much anyone. They always go high, and slide off...groundhog day.
The offense isn't creative. We have a guy with Ross's ability and he gets one target. One.
The special teams looked lost as well.
It is just groundhog day with Marv....Lucy pulled the ball away again.
Right now i see this season carrying on in a similar 9-7 type vein
..We have enough talent to beat the teams we should do (e.g. TB, Oakland, Browns) , but we do not have the talent, discipline or coaching to CONSISTENTLY win the games against playoff contenders (Saints, Chargers, @Pitt).
I see some on the board assuming that just getting back some players healthy like Price, Gio, Vigil post bye does enough to tip the balance.
I'm not so sure, they need to use the bye week to do some serious self scouting and address some fundamentals (small things like you know wrap up tackling !
)
