What we are doing isn't working if what you want to do is win against good teams.

Spot on. So with Frank in charge, a year in / year out 9-8, 8-9, maybe get to 10 here and there. Because that's the way it is generally going to work out in the NFL, about half your games will be against good teams and about half against "bad" and as such we should expect to lose about half our games. YAY!
OldColt is right, we are 1-9 vs "good" teams, with Buffalo being the win, and we did it by demolishing their stacked box. But this week, well we couldn't even TRY that, that would have been silly.
Dacich has a spot preview running where he is yelling about being satisfied with mediocrity and how we have to overcome the opponent and Frank Reich to get wins, he is 100% with that take. With Frank in charge, Darius, Q, JT, and Pittman are going to see no hardware as great as they are.
