My heart says Arrggghhh!, my head says we're learning. Anyone in coaching knows that sometimes you can have the most talented team in the league, but until they work out the chemistry, it will take time and hard work to get it right.
I don't think anyone is playing badly, I just think many are playing within themselves (Portis, Brunnel, Coles, OL, Taylor). Sooner or later one or more will have a break out game, or even just one play, that will set the tone. Then we'll se improvement.
All I think Taylor needs is one devastating hit over the middle or a savvy INT (for a TD please). Coles needs a TD. Portis needs a 150 to 250 yard game (w/o/fumbles) and Brunnel needs to be able to rely on the running game.
Our total points diff. this year is -7. Anyone tell me what it was in Schotty and Spurriers first 4 games? I got a feeling it compares favourably. We haven't lost a game by more than a TD so far, and that says we are in it. And you have to be in it to win it. (Cliches off)
