Well that was horrible

Last week I said that this team was middling and that it would have to prove itself over the course of the next 4 weeks or so. Well I hope that wasn't our answer. Halfway through the season and we are right where we started, record-wise. Perception-wise we have been through a half season of football if you just compare the questions this team faced 9 weeks ago. Heck, just a few weeks ago the questions centered around getting Cutler more time to and Forte more space to run. Now the defense has collapsed against two opponents. I mean utterly collapsed. You can't get much worse than 0 defensive stops in the 1st half. There's just no way our offense can keep pace with that. There's a whole lot of negatives out there, so lets look at the silver lining.

• O-line looked decent. The offense line actually looked okay giving Jay a reasonable amount of time to pass. I don't know how much of that was due to Arizona being up by 20 points or what, but in the pass we couldn't even defend against a 4 man rush.
• The D played better in the 2nd half. Again, I don't know how much that had to do with the offense Arizona was running, but they couldn't stop anything in the first half. For that mini-comeback stretch, our D actually look like it should.

I'd say the most depressing thing about the past few weeks, the thing that's affected this team's fans the most, is the entertainment value of these games. This game and the Cincinnati game were horrible to watch for obvious reasons and the Browns game was equally as boring as it was frustrating. At least the 1st quarter of the season featured some action and exciting finishes.
