LOL so the final result doesn't matter because YOU want everything to be perfect and act like mistakes and some bad performances aren't part and parcel of a normal season? Smh . And you're wrong about Pat struggling since Hop arrived. 13 td's, just 3 ints, good passer rating and more yards simply don't agree with your notion.

And Trey has been struggling, Schwartz and Baldinger have pointed it out.

Actually they've pointed out how much Taylor had made Smith's job so much harder. Acting like "Smith is a problem" is just silly to me. He's far from a big problem imo.

My point is that there are more issues this year, starting with injuries, when we were largely injury-free last year. OL performance is worse. The defense is giving up about 3-4 points more, etc.

The biggest "issue" a team can have is LOSING games. Therefore suggesting this team is worse this season is crazy. Last year we couldn't score and at times the defense had rough games against Denver and Greenbay. So let's be realistic about what happened.

again, you want to pretend those aren't happening, whatever. I can only bring the donkey to water, I can't make you drink it.

I don't need to pretend about anything. Last regular season this team was in the middle of losing 5 in 8 games at this time last year. If you think that was great then OK buddy
