Just throwing this out for discussion, aside from Indy that is a Brutal schedule for any team without their starting QB.
I am not making excuses I’m just saying, what was the realistic expectation,
hopefully 2-3 I guess. I know we have looked horrible but hopefully with Tua back, some steady line play and perhaps some new found confidence (by winning) we can find some traction…..here’s hoping.

Well, they started the Buffalo game with their starting QB. They just had their **** kicked in so hard so fast that he broke his ribs.

Maybe start Brisset the next game against them..

It's less about the record, and more about how badly the team has looked in those games.

Bingo. Lowest point weve been as a franchise in 3 years af least and maybe 20 years when you consider the resources wasted /expectations/complete rebuild looking like a train wreck.

It's bad. Tua has shown nothing so far in the
NFL to make a person think he can turn this around.

This "tough" schedule excuse will be laughable if we lost to the Jaguars and the winless Colts.

If QB was our only issue, and Tua was coming back, I'd be optimistic. With time, and a decent OC, I think Tua can be at least an average starter. We don't have a decent OL or OC though, and I'm frankly worried he's going to get killed out there again when he comes back.

Throw in the fact that the rest of our team sucks and you got yourself four losses.
 
With the terrible coaching it is what it is . Let's just grab Deon Sanders and go prime time
 
Just to echo what a few others have said…

I had little to no expectation even going into the season for those 5 games. It’s not that we lost them all, it’s how utterly hapless we played in them.

The lack of adjustments, the bizarre play calling, the hapless effort from multiple players we’ve invested very highly in, the inability to stop the run or the pass at times, the inevitable retrospective reviews for what we have spent that rebuild credit on (a porous OL and the Igbo farce), what we’ve done with the salary cap during that rebuild by cutting vets and swallowing millions of dead money dollars… it’s a veritable feast of failure.

Right now we’re getting a similar product - if not worse - to what we saw out of the tanking roster. Except that year Flores seemed to be squeezing every ounce and dime of available ability out of a whole bunch of players who let’s be honest we’re lucky to be seeing an NFL field. Since then we’ve invested amply in a whole new OL, selected a supposed franchise QB, assembled the most expensive CB duo in the league and splurged $95m dollars in one free agency period alone… yet we’re not seeing any nett improvement.

It’s staggering just how ineffective that rebuild has been in terms of what we’ve served up on the field through these opening weeks. It’s hard to see what we’ve actually gained at all.
 
honestly you do have a point. I expected 3-2 at best or 2-3 at worst before tua injury. I had buffalo and tampa as losses. I was thinking we split raiders and colts before tua injury. But we suck so I can't even post message where this is somewhat acceptable or expected.
