No doubt this team has underperformed on both sides of the ball. But I have the sense that the talent is there on offense if
1) They hold on to the dam ball-- this alone would fix a lot of problems
2) They get a little more imaginative with play design and playcalling. I observed first hand at the 49ers game that the receivers did not appear to me to be getting open. Now I'm hearing reports from people who were there in person and/or watched the all 22 film that the receivers weren't getting open against the Cowturds either. That's on play calling / scheme IMO. It doesn't help that Hurts appears to be hesitant at times like he doesn't trust his receivers.
Only three players targeted against the Cowturds (unless you count the pass by the punter)?!?
We have shown no imagination on offense. They are predictable and the opposition has figured it out. They know who to cover and how to do it. But I think this team has the players on offense if they are used properly and everybody pulls their head out of their respective asses.
Defense wise: I don't know what you can do with this clusterf*ck unless the DL gets ungassed and starts getting some pressure. I suppose not playing teams coming off of three more days rest than the Eagles could help (this could be more of a factor than I have considered). But the lack of imagination is there as well.
If they could improve the defense from completely abysmal to merely mediocre they could have a shot.
