They aren't but that shit start makes anything meaningful for the season doubtful, they are not good enough to play with the best, even with home-field advantage, let alone without.

They did what they were supposed to do. Although I think the score disparity should have been larger. Can they win against good teams though? Can they protect Wentz long enough for him to make reasonable decisions. Can they get to the passer when the other team has a decent line. Dolphins are a mess, Colts are less of one.

This will be the issue that limits the team late in the year. I expect most of their issues to improve as the year progresses. Not this one. I expect some flashes here and there, but it will again limit them.

A team just has to be healthy and get hot at the end of the regular season.

This is a great point! Look at all the teams in the history of the NFL that got off to bad starts.... Looked like they were going nowhere.... Got healthy...got good... Got hot at right time. The two Giants teams come to mind... They got off to very slow starts. Both times ended up in the Super Bowl beating the Patriots.... Many great examples... The Bucs last year started slow..

I liked using the Giants as example because they beat the Patriots.... I hate that team!

It is fine to have hope, but starting 0-3 teams have a poor history in the NFL, this team is still a mess and will be for a few more weeks even if things go well. I am not holding my breath.

As long as you haven’t already played yourself out of a playoff spot.

Right after I posted it, I considered editing it to say a playoff team, but I thought it went without saying.
