other than that you wrote a lot of defeatist type things that aren't real they're a perspective you have on the outlook of this team. we lost by 1 point and beat ourselves. if we were a bad team this would have gotten ugly. we were in every game and had a real chance to win can any other team say that about every game this season with our record?
I think you are being emotional. I am just basically iterating the facts that's all. It isn't just my personal perspective per se, the record of 6-3 is nothing to brag about when you consider who our opponents were in both the win and loss columns. The only decent team we have beaten so far is the Packers. The rest are basically teams with a losing record apart from the Cards. The losses are all to great quality physical teams, Seahawks, Colts and Panthers.
Run game wise, going forward, we need to think about reloading ourselves with bigger physical power backs if we are to maintain a decent run game. Frank can't play forever, backs like Hunter and LMJ just aren't powerful, explosive nor particularly fast enough to get it done. Not sure about Lattimore yet, will have to see.
