Even the announcers made the comment I have been making.
This team doesnt have good enough talent yet to play with a team like the Bears.
JP isnt good enough yet to carry the team. Maybe he can become that player, maybe he wont.
Willis isnt good enough to carry the team. Maybe a few OL studs make him a star, maybe they wont.
Our other WR's (not Evans) arent good enough to keep the defense honest. Id like to see another underrated young star opposite Evans, the more playmaker options we have the better.
Our DE's arent good enough to get consistent pressure against a good OL. I have to agree with those that say we should be thinking DE in the 1st round, Gaines Adams is my favorite.
Our secondary isnt good enough yet to go up against good WR's. Were starting 2 rookies, McGee is solid most of the time, Clements is no better than McGee and is most likely gone.
Our LB corp isnt good enough to make up for a D-line that isnt good enough to stop the run.
To make matters worse our best player has played all of 5 games in the past 2 years (TKO).
Now, going forward we need to realize that we dont have adequate talent yet. However, the rest of the year is to be spent watching the guys we do have and hopefully we will continue to get better and better.
That said, this teams front office needs to grab a few very good players to get better. They need to be aggressive and make drastic improvements, free agency, trades, not just the draft. Its a crap shoot, we cant simply build this team from there.
I dont care about this game, I care about our overall chances at developing into a playoff/Superbowl team. Would we have the same result at the end of this season vs. now? We will have to see. It could happen with what we have, but I feel we still need a few bigtime playmakers.
