I have said that I would reserve judgment until the team has played four games. Part of me wants to extend that to six, but Fuck it.

First of all, while a significant hole has been dug, it is still possible to turn things around...and that's a bunch of BS - lol

The on the field game management is terrible.
The play calling is terrible.
The offensive line is terrible.
The decision making by the QB is terrible.
The defense giving up big play after big play is terrible.
There have been flashes and some nice plays, but those are so few and far between that they are really insignificant in my opinion. Like the saying goes, the sun shines on a dogs ass every once in a while. For the most part, this offense has not delivered - at all, and it's getting worse by the week. The defense may actually be improving in some areas, but it doesn't matter if you can't score points (~18 points per game, and a lot of those in garbage time after being down 20+).
The secondary has some nice pieces, but they are so inconsistent that it's not even funny anymore. I actually don't even think that the collective talent there is bad, but they are out of position way too often, leading to big plays that just crush hopes.
The linebackers...man. J Davis actually looks to be getting better in my opinion. He may be even better than C Holcomb at this point (big whoop), but collectively the LB group is very underwhelming to say the least. It's a glaring failure 2+ years into this regime.
Special teams is meh... It says a lot when your Punter is consistently the MVP of the games/season.
I was unaware that yesterday - in game 4, was the first field goal attempt by J Slye. At least he made it.
We need a return game badly. There were better returner candidates on this team in the preseason, than what we have seen thrown out there the first four games.
The defensive line is the only position group that has shown up this year (maybe you can say the receivers have as well when given a chance, but ST and CW haven't been able to consistently get them the ball).

The product on the field is getting worse every time the team takes the field, and it's a direct result of poor management of the roster, and poor coaching, both of which lead to RR. The lack of talent for certain position groups, combined with the inability to have this team prepared to play, or to adjust to what's happening on the field, is unacceptable. I think the players probably care too, especially the Captains, and it's only a matter of time before this thing absolutely implodes from within. The sky is officially falling...

The only reason I might watch next Sunday is because Brian Robinson may play, and I think that is nothing short of awesome for that kid. I truly wish him the best. Too bad for him that he was drafted by this team.

What a soup sandwich this team is.
