Now 0-7 doesn’t seem so bad.

But, what people tend to forget is that in 2011 and 2012 were Dalton and Green's first and second year in the league, after the Palmer debacle. We really had no business being in the playoffs, and they over achieved to get there.  And they got beat by the Texans. 2013 was the year they really crapped the bed and lost to a Chargers team they should have easily beaten. 2014 against the Colts, the team was thoroughly decimated by injuries and we had running backs playing receiver. And then there was the Pittsburgh debacle in 2015. So when you look at the individual games losses in the Dalton era, it's not as bad as it sounds....

I'm not really arguing here.

The year they played the Colts the had no chance.

You put all of the rest together though...

Offense set records for ineptness.

All other areas including defense that ranked high in the regular season were neutralized.

It wasn't just young players.  They got massively outcoached.

Even going into the halftime close or ahead they slipped into the abyss.

Yet we still retain a head coach that tells us second half adjustments are a myth.

The only real myth is the second half adjustments should be prepared prior to actual halftime.

It's not like they go in there and scurry things together.

Perhaps solidify what has been assessed.

Somebody send Marvin the damn memo !!
