I think I get sucked into the fantasy football way that our team is built at times.
I know you don’t invest in WRs and RBs while neglecting defense but I guess I ignored that when evaluating this team.
I feel like I’m good at putting my Cowboys bias to the side but I think I got caught up in the hope of a new coach and all the skill players.
That's easy to do. But I think the other problem is while we knew there were issues with the defense, I don't think many realized just how bad it was. I think many felt (myself included) ith Poe, McCoy, Griffen, LVE coming back, and couple of draft picks, that the defense could take a step forward, even with Jones being gone. On top of that, if we had known Aldon Smith was going to work out so well I think most of us would have felt pretty good. Now here we are with McCoy not playing a single down, Poe looking like a tree sloth, Griffen not having a significant impact, LVE missing most of the first part of the season, and no coverage guy that can replace Jones, and the defense is worse than ever.
