Haven't seen it all yet and might not watch it

Man this team is severely flawed. This is four offseasons for Mayhew and Schwartz and we aren't very close yet. This defense is woeful. Has been bad against good offenses and has this type of occasional bad egg against even mediocre good offenses.

Meanwhile the offense can put up some yards but is reminding me of the Michigan offenses of the last couple of years...very inconsistent. Where was the running game yesterday against a solid DL? I know...absent because Raiola and Peterman suck at run blocking and Cherilus and Backus aren't too far behind them.

Freaking ugly in a must win game.

I watched a little of the game right before the half and a little of the second half. Every play I saw they did well, but I think as soon as I turned away they quit. I saw one play that Cultler must have thrown with his foot or something cause Suh was about to roll him into a ball and stuff him under the bench, but he managed a 1st down instead. But most the highlights I have seen sucked.

They have lost all three of the previous ones, Tenn, Chi and now Vikings. Imagine if they had won both games against the Vikings? They'd be 6-3, instead of 4-5, big, big difference. I couldn't finish watching the 1st half, too brutal for me. A study in ineptitude.

RL...what frustrates me and has me looking hard at Mayhew and Schwartz is that they have lost all three back-to-backs. Good teams are challenged in those games but can win a few.

I gave Mayhew a B at the beginning of the season. Unless something changes, that grade has dropped. Guys like Avril (franchised by Mayhew), KVB, Durant, Sims, Pettigrew, and Cherilus have regressed and joined a group of people that either should've been replaced (Peterman, Raiola, etc) or can't stay on the field (Leshoure, Delmas, etc). He still has a huge cap issue this year with little chance to improve the team in the offseason outside of the draft.

At this point the only players who I beleive have consistently played at or above their ability are Houston and CJ. Others who are close are Levy, Stafford, and Suh. Fairley, Williams, Tulloch, Hill and Backus have had their good moments. Otherwise...way too much inconsistency in play, chronic health issues and in some cases just plain poor play.
