I dont see any way around it. I think we are the worst team in the nfl. I think we would have a legit shot to beat tampa, cleveland and kc. I watched detroit today, they are definitely better than us (stafford is a terrific young qb and calvin johnson is special). Oakland stinks, but they have a win. Cleveland has no wins, but they went to OT today. I didnt check the final stat line yet, but at one point in the fourth quarter we had more punts (7) than first downs (6).
Our offensive line is giving us no chance to compete offensively. Our defense isnt as bad as the stats look, but the countless penalties on both sides of the ball are truly one sign of a terrible team. There is truly no pulse on our offensive line, which makes it essentially impossible to throw the ball down the field, which makes it easier for teams to put 8 or 9 guys in the box to stop jackson. At least its clear today that Boller isnt the answer to anything. He was horrible. I dont mean to get on boller because he is a decent backup, but as i have been saying for two years about bulger, if you have no offensive line play, its impossible for a qb to be successful.
There are some on the board who have advanced the argument that the talent level isnt as bad as i keep saying it is. Does anyone still want to make that argument? I said at the start of the season that we had no depth at all and it sure looks like that was a correct statement. Sure, we are banged up. So are lots of teams. Our wide receiver situation is very very weak and we dont do enough to get the ball into averys hands.
Its going to be a very very long year. I think we are looking at 3-13 at best and most likely worse. I truly believe that if jackson gets hurt and cant play, we will not win a single game without him.
