The poor special teams performance just further proves that last years run was a total fluke and nothing more than another Cinderella story that fell short.
As fun as last years 2-9 start was it always felt too good to be true. And it was. I'm enjoying this start more. Because this feels like the team we all think they are. I don't even think this is a slow start for them. I think this is who they are now. Older, slower, and without a ridiculous PP to artificially prop them up. A .500 record, or slightly above, would be perfect to witness. It'll give the pundits hope that their darlings are still in it. But in reality they aren't and they'll try and move any last assets they have to squeak into the playoffs.
