The backfield has actually been fine since Bradley Fletcher came back. Nate Allen has been playing better, and swapping Earl Wolff in for Pat Chung seems to have helped as well. The defense has only allowed just over 18 points per game since the Denver debacle.
Also, it looks like Nick Foles is back this week. I haven't decided if that's good or bad yet. The good news is they have a relatively easy schedule the rest of the way. They'll get smoked at Lambeau next week, but the rest of the slate are all winnable games. 9-7 or 8-8 isn't totally out of the question. Although, I wouldn't be overly pissed if they lost every game from here on out and drafted Mariota in the spring.
