And if you look at the 2 we just lost, the first game was an absolute fluke with the long snapper getting hurt and Shooter missing a PAT and a 30 yarder. And we almost won yesterday. But if you expected great line play from a new line right out the door, your expectations were not based in reality.

Man, you are the most pessimistic optimist I've ever argued with.

Let's see....

The biggest fluke in game 1 was that we had 5 turnovers and were anywhere close to having a shot to win that game.  A team with a -5 turnover differential losing the game in any way shape and form is damn near a guarantee, aka very much not a fluke.  If you have -5 turnover and you win it is a fluke, so yea some fluke stuff went against us, but 9 times out of 10 that game would have been way out of reach.

And yesterday we got to play against Cooper Rush, a guy who was starting his second game in 5 years in the NFL.  Just him being on the field is a fluke, but he is 2-0 now, so him winning is no fluke, daggummit.

Anyways, close losses are easier to stomach when we weren't favored to win them.  Hopefully we have a shot against the Jets, because 0-3 before facing an improved Dolphins team could be daunting.

He's also 45 years old.  A rag tag o-line of no names defending a 45 year old man...sounds like some sort of movie script.
