That's why I do think there are concerns, but it has been a borderline comedy act on the boards since the end of that game.
A week ago, according to the general consensus of the boards, Andy was improved, Gio was a great RB2, Hill was going to be the #1 RB in the league, A.J. was solidly a top 5/10 WR, Eifert is uncoverable, our o-line was the best in the league, and our defense was back to life.
One game, ONE game that highlighted some big mental errors by our first string, and in the last 12 hours, I've seen...
A.J. isn't even top 10
"Andy still sucks" (Exact name of a thread)
Gio isn't good anymore/is declining
Hill is going to fumble too much
Eifert is coverable and good TEs don't drop that pass
Offensive line proven to be suspect
Defense is too vanilla
One preseason game caused all of those overreactions. I mean, I never thought I'd be arguing on this side of the fence, but people have been absolutely ridiculous today and last night.
