Now that defenders aren't leaving him wide open, he is very bad at football.

Can't we just trade a second rounder for a TE from a shite team? I know there are some shite teams that have some good ones.

So so bad.

I have never seen a team kill itself more than this group.

Let's just bring Shannahan back. This offense is night and day from last year.

I once thought it was Shanny too but it's not him. Balls are hitting Hooper and Julio in the hands and they're just dropping them.

Hooper needs to be benched. The rest of the team ESPECIALLY the Oline needs to play better or this season will be 8-8. Alex Mack is NOT playing well this year at all. Last year he was a top 3 center weekly.

It's not the playcalling, at least not exclusively.

The play calling has spurts where it is okay but I would say 25% of the time I have no idea why we are running certain plays/packages. Add in another 25% where we kill ourselves with drops and penalties and you get a team that looks incompetent for half the game.... the 2017 atlanta falcons

I still believe they can turn it around. If the Oline blocks better, we got a shot.
If we can go 3-1 over the next 4, we'll be ok.

DAL: we can win this one at home
@SEA: a winnable game on the road
BUCS: we should win. A loss here is devastating.
Vikings: toss up, probably a L
Saints: toss up, doesn't matter the records of either team.
@BUCS: should win, even on the road
@Saints: toss up, probably a L
Carolina: should win but who knows where we are at this final game

The next 2 weeks are crucial. Go 0-2 and it's over. Go 1-1 and we're still floating. 2-0 and this season is a whole new game.

I'm gonna say:
DAL: L
@SEA: W
BUCS: W
Vikings: L
Saints: W
@BUCS: W
@Saints: L
Carolina: W

9-7. If we can win this Dallas game that might get us 10 wins and into the playoffs.

I think we have to go 6-2. Unfortunately, this team is as dumb as they are talented.
