I wish all observers, especially older fans, would think back and ask themselves, "When have I seen the entire team play with their hair on fire all season long?" Not one player. Not six or seven players. All starters and backups.

Maybe then the realization will begin sinking in that the underlying problem precedes Brian Schottenheimer. Precede, as in a LONG time ago.
Not since Parcells, and those teams did legitimately lack talent.
 
Not saying they don't have talent. But something is off. The defense can't tackle anybody and the offense, while good most of the time has stretches where it looks like high school. Missing blocks, throws in the dirt, receivers playing volleyball instead of making the catch. No one is immune. I am starting to believe in "the curse." What I am watching doesn't make any logical sense. Quinnen Williams and Kenny Clark are not this easy to block. The defense cannot tackle any RB except Derrick Henry. And they can't tackle any QB at all. Maybe it's Schottie.. I thought the guys would respond to his low key, no BS, honest approach but they haven't. They like him but they are not inspired by him. And that worries me.. This team plays without passion.. and as good as some of them are.. as a whole they are not talented enough to get away with that. It's left me unable to enjoy any game. And to be honest I'm starting to get kinda mad about that. I need to see some guys breathing fire Sunday night.. Even if we lose I need to see all 46 guys who suit up playing with their hair on fire. If they don't then Schottie might not even need to get back on the flight home cause he will be unemployed before the post game interviews are done.
What took you so long?
 
It's really simple. They have a good offense. They have a bad defense. They have a so-so special teams.

That's why they are normally around .500 at the end of the year.
Wrong!
They have a talented offense, but terrible offensive coaching.
The defenses we played the last 2 weeks kicked our butts, all over the field, AND both of those defenses were way less talented than our offense.

Our talented offense has played terrible the last 2 weeks because our OC/HC has no idea how to move the ball vs an aggressive defense that constantly has 6-8 guys at the LOS!
