Not necessarily winning, but at least competitive. The Cowboys pass offense carved us up, and it was our run defence we were worried about. The OL aren't scrubs but they played 2 games vs the Cowboys and 1 vs the Eagles like they hadn't even practiced together. I'd argue the blocked punt was avoidable (as said elsewhere Smallwood got owned, and he's no rookie).
Yes the roster has been shaken up, but they looked like they hadn't been coached, especially the D. And Heinike looked all at sea, whereas a month before he was as on fire as he's likely to get; that first INT was all down to his bad timing/inaccuracy, as Scary was open. The scrap between Payne and Allen wasn't the only sign of dysfunction.
I remember the scrubs we put out during the strike, and while they lacked talent as a unit, they played with passion. I haven't see anything like that passion last 3 weeks.
