Here is my problem with perspective.. it gives the illusion that because we lost close games that we are close. We are not close.
Despite the threat of Burrow, Chase, and Tee, we don't have a run game, and not because other teams are filling the box with 8 or 9 players. At the same time, other teams commonly get pressure rushing 3 players.
Our best 3rd best WR is a tight end. So is our 2nd best pass blocker.
Several times per game someone in the secondary is lost, seriously missing their assignment. We have been lucky that so many opposing QBs have missed WRs running free.
We have no CB1;we have two safeties who are incapable of getting to the sideline to close out coverage.
We have only one player capable of generating QB pressure at an acceptable rate.
