We're also too thin at the moment due to injuries. I still think we have good games ahead of us but it will take more than a good game to beat our next opponent: Seattle.
The sky isn't falling but yeah, we're just not there yet.

I don't want to use injuries as an excuse, but as a below average team we cannot afford all the injuries we have. I think this was a perfect storm of injuries, our inability to play well in prime time, and just having a bad game coming all together at the worst possible moment.
I hate what I saw out there, but what do we expect when we are all so banged up. Breeland looked good as the third corner, but not as the starter. Hatcher is not 100%, I think Jenkins was beat up. Our already terrible o-line was already down one starter and may be down another. And we have a competent backup, but he's still the backup.
