Simply put, this team is not playing good football on either side of the ball. Part of it is coaching but most of it is just poor execution by the players.

I’m not sure that we are the best team in the NFC South. Right now I say we might be the second team but if Atlanta will be a problem for us because of how explosive they are, especially since we really don’t have the ability to threaten defenses down the field.

As you said, 13 more games but if we don’t see a major turnaround, I have a feeling this is going to be an ugly season.

Losing is always ugly, and imho, it could get Jaguars ugly here also, if the losing continues. I’ve thought DB#9 should have retired every year for the last six years though. Three 7-9 seasons, the two 13-3, and the 11-5 season. But, my belief has absolutely nothing to do with a social justice stance.
