Just bad luck or whatever ? Perhaps, but I'm not so sure this team isn't heading down the toilet ?
You do realize that in 2014 we only had 20 sacks, correct? So why, with the same group, would we believe in 2015 that it would more than double?
Also, if that's the case, then Dalton will have over 4,600 yards and not even 15 passing TDs.
You can't go by stats early on. Give it time. They've gone against tough teams. It would be different if they went against the Browns and Cowboys and gave up those kinds of numbers. They're not playing against scrubs.
They've gone against Sanders, Thomas, AB, Marshall, and Decker. Done well in the first 2 games. Not so much against Sanders. Thomas did nothing until Lewis-Harris came in. But no one talks about that. Or that the defense was waiting on a play with their hands in the air.
Let's relax. Come talk about this team heading down the toilet if they lose to a team that hasn't made the playoffs last year.
