Little bit too much for my tastes. I'd love to share the up-with-people,
and I agree the injuries on the offense have affected the entire team's
performance, but the defensive lapses and absolutely abysmal tackling have
me very concerned about the ultimate fate of the season. Given that most of
the players are the same, and that we have more talent than the vast
majority of teams in the league, for whatever reasons this team certainly
isn't playing anywhere near the level it was last year. We definitely have
time to right the ship and make a deep run, but much more of this
week-to-week inconsistency and we're on a road to nowhere special, even
given the NFC's ineptitude as a whole this season.
