Let’s start this out with a statement that might feel contradictory to the title of this piece. Things are not as dire as they might seem. Sports in general will always have a “what have you done for me lately?” vibe to them since we tend to base our dissatisfaction on what we have just seen. It’s worse in football than in any sport thanks to the length of the schedule where a bad month from one team often leads to an early look at the offseason. In baseball, there is the advantage of being able to see trends even out over time thanks to near 180 days of action.
The bullpen is a problem right now...or are they?
