We could easily be the worst performance. Not only is the corner play bad but we have zero intermediate to long passing game. We don’t really even attempt to throw it past 5 yards. Zero offensive ID with every play call looking experimental.
This is not a good team right now and I’ll be surprised if we get past 4 wins.
