I did t expect much last season going into our MNF game against the Rams. That game was the spark that pushed us to the playoffs. Maybe we can replicate that.
But I'm skeptical, very skeptical. I think it's more likely that what we're seeing is in fact the state of the team, and we're just not as good as we all thought.
The team has the talent. The defense is firing on all cylinders.
The offense is not yet.
It was the same last season. We lost a bunch of games. It was because the team was out of sync.
This season it is happening to an extent again. Some of the blocking is not quite right because of the timing, some of the receivers aren't exactly where they should be at the time they are meant to be and Jimmy G at times has thrown late or too early.
Given JG has started late after zero pre season etc etc and the team was geared up for Trey how is the state of play even a shock to anyone?
The expectation that things should be perfect and it is all JG's fault is a thoroughly unconvincing proposition.
This is far from Jimmy's fault. Jimmy's the backup. You hope to win 50% of your games when your backup is in. I'm saying the offense with the scheme and talent looks lost. We'll see, but I'm skeptical this will be a repeat of last season.
