There's either some poor evaluations happening, the coaches don't know how to properly coach up unrefined talent, and/or a disconnect with the guys they are bringing in with the scheme being ran.

No one on here would ever label me an optimist. Some (or most) might even label me a pessimist.
What I will say is this team is kinda in the middle.
They have moments of great play mixed with terrible play.
Some games the offense is great while the defense is horrendous.
Other games vice versa.

At this point, the team would very likely have to win 7+ games out of 9 to make the playoffs.
To be able to pull that out after going 3-5 would be honestly spectacular.
I'm not sure what light bulb could go off that could magically turn them into a true Super Bowl contender this year though, even if they make the playoffs.

Unfortunately, this might be a(nother) washed season.
We'll see over the next few weeks I guess.

Agree. And with Burrows contract, and budgeting for Chase...that takes 3-5 quality free agents off the roster. So you have to scout and find more contributors through the draft and free agency.

Signing guys like Nick Scott and Stone waste money.
