Reason 6 Special teams have been an issue most of the year but that's fixable
Reason 7 guys returning from injury Price Gio will help offense quite a bit
reason 8 if defense continues to struggle Marvin is likely to take over playcalling from austin which would be an improvement
reason 9 younger player continuing to play better through experience
reason 10 warm weather teams don't like to play in cold weather which gives us huge advantage against saints and chargers
I'm all for optimism and I don't think this season is lost, but I definitely disagree with a few of these. Lazor isn't a better OC than Hue. This season is not better than Andy's 2015 season. Price isn't going to help the offense "quite a bit" just yet. He's still young and going through his struggles. He will be a slight upgrade over Hopkins currently, but his upside is higher. Gio will definitely help, though.
All in all, this team is okay but I think we saw the faults of this team last night.
