I'm not ready to give up yet. Here's why...

We could have easily won the 49ers game, and I think they are probably the best team in the league right now. Yeah that second half was ugly but a couple breaks (or some better officiating) and things could have gone the other way.

I'm liking what we're seeing from the Defensive Line. They're young, tough and starting to create some pressure. Our LBs are actually pretty good. I just don't understand why we've been so bad.

Streif will be back soon and that's going to help a lot. Our O-line is better than it's been given credit for. Our starters are all solid and both our guards are exceptional. Unfortunately our depth has been decimated.

I like Vitt. No, he's no Sean Payton but he is a pro and I think his confidence translates well to the team. The job isn't too big for him.

We have Jimmy, Lance, Tusk, Marques, PT, Sproles. And they don't.

Our QB is better than their QB.
