I agree w qdawg- by the second half, I had become very ho-hum about the whole thing.  Friends who are fans of other programs were texting me about how horrible the team is to watch.  I fell asleep on the couch during the 4th quarter.

It's hard enough to watch your team lose, even more to watch them  the bed in all aspects of the game.  They are bad in every single category at the moment, and it's exhausting for me.  Offensive line, RB, WR, QB, DL, LB, DB, punting, punt RETURNS, kickoffs, KO returns (maybe not all that bad on KO returns- but not spectacular, either), and coaching.  This team just seems to lack passion and intensity- my response to texts coming in was that they seem to be just rolling over at this point.

At the beginning of the year, I felt 6-6 would be ok for this team, considering the losses from last year's roster.  I also felt like the team's youth would mean we'd see some improvement as the season progressed.  Instead, it seems to be the opposite; we're playing with less passion now than a month ago.

Hoping the bye week helps.  2 years ago we came off of 3-straight losses, including a mind-numbing game at Louisville, and pasted a ranked Rutgers team.

If we pull off a good win in the next few weeks, I'll feel a little better.  I don't mind giving Marrone 5-6 years to get to a point where >7-8 wins is standard, but it's tough to watch the backslide.
