Time to face the facts, this team is mediocre

this shouldnt be a surprise to anyone. The guy has issues. Saban said so. Theres a reason he fell tot he 3rd. Guy has a bad bad case of a.d.d

What's bad is, even though Burton is still struggling with the playbook, he still has more 40+ yard games on his career than Yoshi.  

Yoshi is a WR5/ST's guy.  And for a 6th round pick, that's a good return on investment.  But he should be nowhere near a starting offense.

Can someone who really understands the X's and O's tell me if the Defense being straight up trash is due to scheme or lack of talent? We've invested a lot of draft capital to be this bad. Either Lou or Tobin have to go.

This defense has to be the worst in the NFL. The only thing saving them statistically has been playing the Patriots, Browns, and Panthers.

No sacks, no turnovers, missed tackles, 10-ply soft.

I mean, DL cannot generate any pressure. Gridiron Grading posted that Rankins, Hubbard, Murphy, Jackson, Jenkins, and Guy did not generate a single pressure in 54 snaps. 1 hurry by Hill and 1 QB hit by Ossai. That's it.

CB's not within 10 yards of receivers. Turner looks absolutely lost. He is supposed to be so fast but never seems to be near the ball. CB's turning their backs to receivers running 30 yards down the field while the receivers are wide open 20 yards. I seriously cannot remember a CB or S with tight coverage and PBU (apparently we had 2 yesterday).

That’s a big bingo there. 

Take out the games against the Patriots, Giants and Browns, and we would be dead last in every defensive category . 

QB’s on Panthers, Giants and Patriots were pulled from starting after playing us. And Watson should never have been starting for the Browns. He’s the only reason we won that game. I doubt the Bengals will beat the Browns with Jamis Winston as their QB.

Look, it was 9bvious we did not get better at DT, WR, RB, and CB.

S & RT were supposed to be upgrades.

Taylor, the OC, Lou, Pollack, and Duke should all get the boot. But they won't.
