Re: Problems we cannot fix in time

Im not basing my OPINION off of just this Jets game. Its not a knee jerk reaction. If we had been playing strong football and beating these inferior teams handily and the Jets manhandled us like they did yesterday I would not be concerned in the least and write this one off as a screw up. That is not the case. I am basing my opinions on what I have seen this season so far. Our line is getting WORSE when we need them to play better. Our run game is absolutely non existent, which is a direct result of line play. Brees is running for his life and if he remains healthy through the rest of the season, when we play even tougher defenses it will be a miracle. Our run defense is pretty damn horrible and we cannot for the life of us score in the red zone.
We have barely won games against crappy teams. Not one team we have beaten is above .500. We have beaten ****ty teams in nail biters.
We should have beaten every team we have played so far this season handily. And that was the easy part of our season. The Cards game and Bears game were encouraging but that is it. And you all would be lying if you say you werent holding your breath at the end of the Bears game.
I just don't see a Super Bowl contender in this team. I said 9-7 maybe 10-6 in preseason and I am sticking to it.

We got absolutely owned by a D that gave up 40 points to the friggin Bengals.

That was on the road where the bengals have kept Brady and Big Ben out of the endzone and held Rodgers to 1 TD. But what 5 other losses do you see? Kinda hard to lose two weeks after losing to the same team(panthers) and I don't think we are losing at the rams with their issues. They no longer have Jackson and their defense isnt what it used to be against the pass. I doubt we lose back to back in our dome in nationally televised games. We can't lose to Atlanta. So I don't see how we even fall to 10-6 unless we lose to TB in a home upset last game.
