Which team is this? Well a young inconsistent one for sure.
I think most had us 3-1 right now, well at least I did. So 2-2 is disappointing but not a bottomless pit. The Next 5 games define this team- @Cards, @Bengals, 49ers, @Bills, . @Colts. Those five games will tell if the team for real, or it's still pretending.
In the last few weeks I have been critical of Brian Cushing and the pick. I want to say he is bringing an attitude to the LBs. I will not bad mouth him anymore this season. I will let the man play.
What does this team need for a winning october

They need to fix the run game so we can play action and keep third down managable and convert to keep drives alive.
The defense needs to get off the field. I hope getting Reeves and the safties solidified will help the number of easy completions we saw the first three weeks. We also need the Antonio Smith we saw this week play like that the rest of the year.
Hope that Pollard is this years Demps from a few years back. We picked up demps and the secondary play improved.
2-2 is not out of it. But we need to go on a little run to position us for meaningful games in December.
