So many issues.
Coaching is number one. Players in the NFL are all talented,and the next man up mentality should be the way. Hate to say it but the Pats are always in the mix, as their injured players are replaced well. Many dumb penalties all over the place, that is lack of discipline, taught by coaches. This cost us crucial yards when we were driving in several games. Play calling is horrible, me and my 80 year old mother know they will hand off up the middle on almost every first down,no matter what field position. If that is the way, OPEN up a hole for West or Dixon to make a play. Those guys will both be good for us, if we figure out how to use them correctly.
Scoring TDs is essential to wins. It seems impossible for us to get there. Flacco has a rocket arm, get a burner who can catch the ball. Sadly, Perriman isn't that guy, way too many drops. Steelers have superstars, Brown, Bell and Ben, they made things happen, and we did not.
Defense is still our strong point, but they collapse in the fourth quarter. Are they tired because the offense goes 3 and out so much? Again, it's a rough game, but coaching is needed to get these guys up for four quarters.
Was so looking forward to another winning season, going to playoffs, this team breaks my heart again.
We are spoiled here, used to a winner,it could be much worse,many really dysfunctional, poorly run teams, we are not.
let's get it together next year, big time.
