At this rate it will be a push to beat 3-13. The O-Line is a shambles, and they have made all the wrong moves there, there are no starting quality QBs, and we are schizophrenic in offensive play calling.

We're snake bit.

Our defense is frustrating, but not our problem. Our O-line and our QB are, as always, the primary points of weakness. We went into this season with the same unproven player in the #2 spot at both guard and the center positions. When Lichstensteiger went down and we moved Montgomery to guard it was over. We compounded the loss of one player by screwing up two positions and putting a rookie is as O-line play caller and snap man.

Done.

And then what do we do? We sign a guard. This leaves us with no backup at the center spot.

That one move pretty much ended my hopes for this year. Sometime after it's too late they will move Montgomery back to Center where he should be, but not before Cook gets manhandled enough to prove to the coaches they made the wrong choice.

I mean hell, we have 8 Receivers (12 if you count TEs) on this squad and 8 O-Linemen... given that 5 O-lineman are on the field, in the trenches, for every offensive play it seems to me that they could have maybe carried a few less WRs who will rarely see the field used the roster spots to create a functional depth chart for the O-line?

Naaaaaaaaaa. That's crazy talk.
