And people blame injuries to AJ Green. The Dolphins dumped most of their good players for draft picks...and have more wins than us!

With better coaching, we'd likely have 2-3 wins. You could load this team up with good players and we'd likely still underperform.

With better coaching we are a bottom-tier team and with ZT and his pals in over their respective heads we are the worst.  Win-now to worst, and we're already looking at 2020 as a win-now season.  Ouch.

As if they do other things great?

Really we do have the worst coaching staff in the NFL. I know that people think Green and Jonah will change that...but it likely won't. Maybe we eek out 2-3 wins with our schedule being so bad. Jets, Browns twice, Dolphins, Steelers.

Speaking of the Steelers...they're 4-4 without Roethlisberger. AB obviously gone from last year. Bell gone too. IF we lost those caliber of guys...people would be going crazy talking about how we had a mulligan for the year.

Honestly, we need soo many quality players that it's hard to really say which way we should go. For instance, a DE like Chase helps us some...but we still have issues at LB and other D-Line and secondary spots. Of course, we have those issues anyways.

We'll be lucky if this team addresses 2-3 deficiencies.
