If somehow, the offense can find its way (more of Ross, Core, Malone, Erickson...less of Hill, Lafell, and Kroft) and get rolling again, they could get right back in the thick of things.
Do I think it will happen? Probably not. I am resigned to the fact that Zampese has taken all-pros and made them look like turds. His offenses are gawd awful. But, there is evidence that a lot of teams, even really good teams, have "lulls" in the season where things just aren't firing. Some on defense, some on offense, etc. Rarely is one team all-world an entire season on both sides of the ball.
However, if the defense continues to shine against GB and with the extra time to work on the schematic to attack the weakness of the packers (secondary), they could end up 1-2, with Burfict coming back the following week. A lot of us had them losing to the Packers but beating the Texans. So, beat the Packers and flip it.
No need to comment on what an optimistic loser I am, but I think the anger over the past couple weeks of horrible offense needs to realize that they still have talent and their QB is a proven winner. They aren't done. Not yet.
I'm right there with you! Even after last year there were things you could see, that made you think we could be good next year. After the first 2 games this offense is horrible, nobody is on the same page. The OC is calling a rather amatuerist plays. It's almost like he's guess what to call to call instead of thinking 4 or 5 plays ahead. "Hey lets try this or Hey we haven't called this in awhile". I keep telling myself that these guys are professionals and it will all get straightened out.... or maybe not...
