Wasn't talking about the numbers being an overreaction as you're absolutely right - its not like they're an opinion
We're getting better than weeks 1 and 2, which is good.
Really? Funny because our record wouldn't indicate that. Our offense is also declining while apparently our defense is inclining. Only QB we can seem to get to turn the ball over is Jake Delhomme and that's not us, that's just him.
Our o-line and running game seem to be the only thing that has improved since last years Philly game. Still a suspect secondary. Our pass rush is no where as lethal and we're certainly not creating many turnovers on defense. So I don't see how we're better on Defense.
Offense, already mentioned the line and running game. But our passing game is almost non existent, especially deep and I knew that would be the case. Our QB seems to be regressing. Hate to say this stuff but it is true. Only teams we have beat still have not won a game.
Our coaching is the usual porous outing. Other than the Panthers game, I don't see us out coaching our competition. Even the Tampa game we looked less coach savvy. Just had superior talent.
So, not sure where we are improving overall as a team when looking from week 1 and 2. This team still can't put together a complete game. That's probably because our offense, defense and special teams are all operated like separate organizations and do not correlate with the overall circumstances of the game.
Even though Wade is supposed to be HC, it's not like he mikes in Garrett from time to time and says "Jason, we're up 24 - 20, we just got the ball back and are running down these guys throat, do not throw the ball and keep running the rock. Our defense is tired since we have made them deal with 4 turnovers today, so they also need the rest". Or, "Jason, we can take the lead, we're on their 3 yard line and we're in 2nd down. Our o-line is pushing everyone around, do not throw 2 fades in a row, run the rock since we're the # 1 rushing team in the league as of this play".
Or how about. "Jason, we're down 17 - 10 on the road. We're within our opponents 5 yard line with 2 plays to go, no time outs and under 20 seconds to go. Look for Witten, Crayton, Martellus or even Tashard Choice out of the back field. Maybe call a play where our mobile QB can use his legs as an option, if need be, since our # 1 WR is out. But do not go to our 4th string WR twice in a row when a hall of fame CB is within his vicinity".
Anyways, just my point of view. We're not improving. We're lucky if we even remain stagnant from what I am seeing. It's a very ill feeling I am experiencing.
