It already cost us a game in Houston, almost cost us the opener, and could have resulted in a loss last week if it wasn't for two turnovers and a game-sealing boneheaded penalty.

This team can only be ranked in the 20s for passing, rushing, passing defense and rushing defense so long before it starts resulting in a lot of ugly Ws.

I wont spend much time arguing against that, we squeaked out two wins that easily could've been losses

It HAS to improve, there is no question about it, and yes, the primary catalyst behind that needed improvement is Smith... just because Reid calls a play with a short pass as the primary read, doesnt mean Smith has to go with that first read

At the same time though, you're argument consists mostly of things that didnt happen "well we could've lost", "well we should've lost"... the only problem is we DIDNT lose

Right now, I'm simply counting on the same arc as last year, slowly becoming more and more efficient as the season wears on, Smith gradually surprising us with more and more downfield passing, and hopefully... taking that to a new level

Smith is the QB, like it or not... so why not hope for the best, and use past bests along with the expectation of improvement on those bests, as a reason for optimism?

I'll give you a starting point for optimism...

2 games in a row with a ypc of 10 or more yards, you're always railing about that... well look at the last two weeks and be glad
