We're losing for the following reasons.
1. The o-line has been abysmal
2. The run game has sucked all season. It's been 90's level bad.
3. Lack of pass rush
4. RZ offense. Particularly passing.
I mean, there might be a few other issues, but this is 90% of the reason we're 5-8-1 right now. Some players are playing well, or at least decent considering the circumstances, but it's not enough to make up for the glaring issues we have. Mind you I don't think Atkins, Dunlap, Dalton, Pacman, LaFell, etc are having great seasons by any stretch...but they've been pretty good. Just not as good as in the past and not good enough to make up for the problems I listed.
It's weird. I think for the most part the effort of the players has been decent. They've atleast tried most of the time...which when we had talent the past 5 years I couldn't always say.
I agree with the reasons you listed.
