Everything that could go wrong for this team has, it's not as simple as saying there is a disconnect between the coaches and the players. We've been marred by injuries to key players (e.g. Portis, Moss, Springs, Rogers, Marshall, Griffin, Salave'a). We've had balls bounce in ways that even a German porn-director couldn't envision (e.g. Galloway to Becht and last week Brown to Buckhalter). We have a new offensive coordinator who brought a playbook that Todd Collins said would take players one year to get comfortable with. We've had individual breakdowns that kill us (e.g. Arch getting beat repeatedly over the top or Taylor biting on double-moves). On top of that, we've had basic team breakdowns in tackling and penalties. I don't think any one issue is killing us, we're getting hit with bad luck on top of bad play.

I honestly believe that if people do not hit the panic button in typical Snyder fashion, things will come together next season. We've just been hit with a perfect storm that we need to ride out for the next 9 months.
