Once we go 1-3 with Carolina and Seattle going 4-0...ouch.
Seattle's not going 4-0. They lost to San Diego.

They can still get it together, but the defense has to be the starting point, they have taken multiple steps backwards.

Re: It is THAT bad

Are we last year's Falcons? Perish the thought, alcohol bringing out some pretty disgusting philosophical thoughts...

Dirty birds were decimated with key injuries at the start of last season.

What would be our excuse after 2 games?

Re: It is THAT bad

We all have a right to be pissed, this team doesnt look good at all. From coaching down, and yes our window is almost closed. We look slow, lost and that D is just plain bad.
If we drop two of the any of the next three..... You look at the rest of the season and tell me we are a playoff team

Answer: NONE

No excuse to jump offsides on a missed FG. No excuse to let Brian Hoyer with low-tier WR's and low-tier TE's (yeah, no Gordon or Cameron) march into FG range from the freakin' 4 yard line to end the game. No excuse to do absolutely NOTHING on offense in the 1st quarter and half the 2nd quarter. No excuse to burn through time outs like a maniac in both halves. No excuse to attempt running kickoffs out of the end zone when you can't even reach the 15 freakin' yard line both times.

Now, the REASON for it? Coaching. Talent is here; executing is not. That is coaching.

Yep, the talent is there. When talent looks lost, it's coaching

There is no team, who is too low, to beat the Saints.

Re: It is THAT bad

Carolina won the division last year. Can they really win the south back to back when it hasn't been done? Are they the best defense ever fielded in this division? They played at the bucs who just lost to the rams at home and at home against the lions who have shown to have problems when Johnson is covered as well as Reggie. Their real season starts next week with Pittsburgh who are coming off a bitter loss and their upcoming teams are all playoff caliber teams, and if bucs go 0-3 I don't see how we do not have a chance to win this division.
