I admit I was drinking LOTS of the good stuff prior to the game Sunday. I bought into the new Alex, better chemistry, Crabs has a full seson, the o-line will maul, the defense is better... yadda yadda yadda...

I'm still drinking it, I just found a floater is all... It's all good.

agreed. After seeing other teams struggle like the Jets, Ravens, Chargers to start the game, etc. I think we'll pull out of it. Those are all talented teams picked by some to win their division, so are we. We just have to get some unforeseen problems straightened out. But this team should be fine.

If not, then yea, overhaul everything.

We are just not as good as made out to be.

~ Among the worst coaching staffs in the league.
~ Rookies on O Line.
~ One of the worst secondaries in the league.
~ Question marks at the QB position.
~ A DIVA at WR who thinks practice, preseason, and preparation aren't important. Minor details like knowing what route to run are not important.

This is not a championship caliber team and probably not a playoff team once again.

Only difference is that we got blown out, those other teams games were close.

Definitely not championship, but I'll say playoff worthy. The O-Line will gel for some reason I have a lot of faith in the promise of our O-Line. The secondary is really frightening for me and I'm nervous about Monday, but luckily we don't play the Saints every game. The question mark at QB can be solved by simply allowing him to operate in the shotgun... which he is actually pretty darn good at.

I'll add the biggest factor: The Coaching Staff

you know whats sad, this team probably wouldn't even be able to win in the CFL since its a passing league and we suck on both sides of the ball at that aspect of the game

The coaching staff is horrific. We call all 3 of our timeouts in every game because we can't get the play in fast enough before the clock runs out. That's just absurd and unacceptable...

We get out coached and out manuvered in every game. Going for it on every single 4th down comes to mind. As does throwing to a fullback on 4th down when you need a play...
