I just don't get it. It all looks so good on paper. These are legit players who have played at a high level in the NFL. This offense is like taking filet mignon and making a burger out of it. The meal just doesn't live up to the ingredients. And the defense would be a hell of a lot better if we could sustain drives to keep them off of the field.

Agreed.
I don't see talent as a problem right now.
The pieces of the puzzle are there, it's just not coming together for a variety of reasons.
