I remember all the doom and gloom last year when we were 6-4. But unlike then I feel we have better pieces this year. Our defense is playing lights out and we have more depth than last year. Our special teams are light years ahead of last year. We have more weapons on offense this year.
Now the big question is our offensive line. From what I have seen and things the coaches have said it appears there biggest problem is communication. The Detroit game had many guys coming in unblocked which is not a physical issue. Yes they are new guys (very new). They are not done learning by far. IMHO this is a very fixable problem. Like Pete has said much comes with playing time and experience. It is not like these guys are not physically up to the challenge. Apparently Pete only likes freak athletes on his team.
I personally keep the faith with this team. Time and time again they have proven they can do it. Even if they loose this week (Although I have a feeling they are going to give Cinci a smack down) I will not go panic mode. They have the pieces.
