Read a good post by 150Gage on the other site - this team with all of its starters in the lineup is a .500 team at best.
Hit the nail on the head.
Anything above .500 would be as a result of pummeling the East which is possibly the weakest it's ever been.

Anything above .500 would be as a result of pummeling the East which is possibly the weakest it's ever been. O-line (not fixed). Punting/Kicking (sort-of fixed). Receivers (not fixed). D-line (no DEs). Running game (see O-line). How is this better than a 0.500 team? Are they EVEN a 0.500 team? Are they a 0.500 team even with all uninjured starters? I think not... |

O-Line has improved since weeks 1-3. Still not upper half of the league.
Punting - Wildly inconsistent.
Kicking - Fixed.
Receivers - Werent good enough in the offseason - might be worse than I expected.
DLine/Linebackers - Upper half of the league.
Secondary - Supposed to be Top 2 - It isnt.
Running Game - a mirage of trickery or misdirection when it works.
.500 only because of the East. Overall they wont be .500 though because they gagged away a minimum of 3 wins.
Imagine the Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal games werent given away. (Not even including the Toronto one). This group of misfits should be 6-4, and that's being generous.

DTs are good, but the DEs are definitely NOT. They only seem to be mentioned when they make a play in coverage.

How many times can they repackage "we just need to execute better and cut down on mistakes" before even the biggest cheerleader starts noticing ?

Or Stein's favourite "they made more plays than we did" after every loss.

Seemed like Wynn was getting double coverage all night (or maybe just when i was paying attention to the line, haven't re-watched yet)
Howsare has been somewhere between fine and good, but team relying on Tavai to be the second bookend is biting us in the a$s, not saying paying JD was the answer, but maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe not letting Mauldin walk along with half our depth wasn't the right answer either.
Des Lawrence isn't good enough to be covering Geno Lewis... Wash gonna remember the defense can kinda control the matchups?
Not sure when Fontana went out of the game, but it seemed to take the announcers by surprise. Great job TSN, you've already got John Lu on the sideline looking like a hobo, talking about nothing, maaaaaaaaaaaaybe get him to take a quick walk around to the ticat sideline... figure that sheet out?
Banks being gone isn't the problem (not throwing to him on 3rd down in the waning seconds of the GC last year.... different story)
He was toast last year, he's looked better this year tbh.
We're really missing Acklin. Guy was money on second down all year, and we have NOT had a replacement safety valve for Dane/Shiltz that GETS OPEN like he did.
Little bit curious how this team looks when actually healthy, but its football, healthy ain't a thing you can count on.
GF wanted to take time off to go to the game in TO this friday.... i can't justify it for this

If officially seen it all.
Fairweather pom pom waiver says...
"Orlondo didn't forget how to coach".
But when faced with "Condell didn't forget how to coach" the responses ranged from....
"Banks carried the team"
"June Jones built that team"
"June Jones left his playbook"
"Field position"
"Luck"
"League has caught up"
The hypocrisy makes you want to throw up 100 times

I'm old enough to remember hiring Khari Jones was supposed to change everything.
