Well, I can't believe I'm defending them, but take this into consideration...
They essentailly got a brand new playbook 2 weeks before the season and the current QB was hurt leading up to the season.
Meanwhile, new players are shuffled in and out which has to make it difficult for continuity.
They are thinking and playing passively. They have to react and attack and be instincive about the pickups they need when teams bring the blitz. They just don't pick up assignments well and you see that on TV.
Yes they are professionals and it shouldn't matter, but let's face it, they aren't super talented enough to get by on sheer athletic talent. They ARE likely good enough to be a decent line that works together, if they can get a little time in with this offense.
the talent needs upgarded to be sure, but they can play better.
