This is a firm "who the hell knows" for me.
This team was more than the sum of its parts early in the season and now it's less than the sum of it's parts.
Lack of talent be damned we are currently playing sloppy, lifeless, uncreative football and if it continues it's possible we won't win another game.
If the coaches can somehow pull the airplane out of it's flat spin we could go on a run.
I have zero expectations for the rest of the season it's all up to this team and how badly it wants to make the playoffs because if they can't rediscover the magic that had them playing above itself earlier in the year the rest of the year could be ugly.
Don't gaslight yourselves into thinking we lost yesterday because we lack talent or because of injuries or any other excuse.
We lost yesterday to a team that was rife with controversy, a team that had owners stabbing players in the back and players stabbing coaches in the back, a team that had lost 5 in a row and mostly in embarrassing fashion to some less than spectacular competition, a team without it's starting quarterback, without 2 of it's interior offensive lineman, without it's starting tight end, without a starting reciever etc, at home as 10.5 point favorites and not only did we lose we got manhandled on both lines of scrimmage.
It's ironic that quinn kept talking about not buying a ticket to the roller coaster and yet this team is the epitome of a "roller coaster" team and right now we couldn't possibly be any lower.
It's not about talent, although I admit talent is certainly a factor but its not the root cause of the problem that has been getting progressively worse over the last 4 or 5 weeks.
We beat the ever lovin shit out of the Panthers a month ago with our backup quarterback and basically the same cast of characters we had on the field yesterday but I have very little doubt if we played them tomorrow with jayden we'd stand a good chance of losing.
Canales has them playing much better football than they were when the season started and the roster hasn't changed.
This game is as psychological as it is physical and right now our heads aren't in the right place and we're playing terrible football.
It's a very common thing in the league, the falcons are dealing with the same problem right now, the Saints looked like world beaters for two weeks then looked like they couldn't beat the little sisters of faith auxiliary football club and now they don't look half bad again. The eagles last year started 10-0 then came completely unglued and their talent didn't change.
We lost our MOJO, whether or not we can salvage this season depends solely on if we can find it again.
