The lbs needed help in the off-season, but wasn't addressed. We all knew that. Dl was the strong point, and our secondary got the job done down the stretch last year. On paper we had 1 weak unit.
They have seemed to regress exponentially. It's a real head scratcher.
Offense is producing way better this year. Makes sense with the upgrades, and having a qb that is at least average by nfl standards. Our qb carousel is a joke, but even more so the last 3 years.
This team is really hard to have any kind of expectation for. I thought we would come into the year as 9-8/8-9 +/-. Now I'm afraid we are 3-12 4-13 +/-.

You are not wrong.... the correlation being Curl bringing coverage ability to the SS position and Everett and Reeves working on the back end when Apke was benched. They got abused in the first 8 weeks, much like now, but they also played many more good teams early in the season
