I think people here overestimate where we should be.'Pretty much this. You can start from the end and be like "that was the dumbest thing I've ever seen"
Then you gotta say "well they kinda let the Raiders score in the closing moments to tie it"
Then you gotta say "well, there was a bad call from the refs"
Then you gotta say "well, the defense failed to close on a 4th and 10"
That's the thing about these losses. You can follow a schedule of "miscues" all the way back to the beginning of the game. That is the hallmark of an ineffectual team, not any single person's fault.
This team "should be" 8-6.
They are building to something better.
The idea that they should be better than that? It strikes me as a stretch.
And I agree Matt Patricia is a problem and that Mac Jones isn't the answer, and even given that, they should still be 8-6, even thought the O-line is a shambles, etc.
Look, we could be the 4-9 LA Rams.
We're overestimating where this team should be given where and how it's currently constructed.
