It's not about excuses. It's about trying to explain why their situation is what it is, and what it may look like in the future.
The fact of the matter is they lost a ton of guys. 8 to be exact. They also have new Co-Coordinators.
Their coach has a proven history and track record. It's much easier to explain their situation, and to have more confidence in the head coach.
Our situation is quite different. You say we're huring so much without Geno, yet we signed Reader in the offseason, who should probably be the better player at this point.
We're down Waynes, but we didn't have him last year. Not to mention we added Alexander and Vonn Bell as well.
Even with 2 starters out, on paper our defense should be better. On paper, their defense is much worse.
We're seeing much of the same as we did last year. Why would anyone give Zac Taylor the benefit of the doubt right now?
