The seats were empty. The product on the field was frankly, vanilla. The same mistakes were happening over and over again as the team was mired in mediocrity. The “continuity” that was being preached didn’t bring confidence, in fact, it brought a collective sigh from the fans as another retread receiver was brought in to get the team over the threshold and into relevancy like the glory years of past.
The receivers mostly flopped while another promising high draft pick floundered into obscurity. The coaching staff was a continual basis of angst as the head scratching hires cost the team when it mattered the most.
