No one is off the deep end man. Relax.
I can't imagine anyone is lamenting the Sark era or anything that stupid.
It's entirely reasonable to discuss the reasons we won't reach the goals so many thought were in reach before the season started. It's not reasonable to be ready to dive off a cliff over it.
This is still a very good team and every day we wake up we should thank the football gods for the gift of Petersen. It's just not an elite team right now and that's clear as day.
For sure I'd still take this team right now as is over anything we've had at least since the '01 RB winning team and probably more back to the end of the James era.
James didn't dominate the national stage in his first few seasons either. He did get to a RB about as fast as Petersen got to the playoffs, but James too had ups and downs through the 80's. Took them a while to dial it in.
The frustrating part right now is we know what the problem is and yet there doesn't seem to be a solution coming soon. They don't play well on the road and it needs to be addressed.
