They had a horrible start. Defense especially. BOB accused the defense of reading too many of their press clippings during training camp. Can't say it was a for sure distraction, but the slow start echoed what BOB was very concerned about in training camp (while the defense was being sensationalized).
I think it was in another thread that I went back-and-forth with someone (when don't I? ) about our team not needing this... and... you are right, it was only at the beginning, when we had our woes. But... somehow the wheels got put back on the wagon and we got back on track. You are right. I had forgotten about such bad start.
