Inconsistency is Killing This Team

And let it continue to kill them. Constantly showing how flawed a core it is, and showing how much a rebuild is needed.
Pretty sure not having good enough players is killing the team. And I wouldn't call this a team either. It's a ragtag group of other teams' castaways and UFA mercenaries playing for their next paycheck.

Inconsistency? lol.
They are consistently not good enough - that's what is killing this team. Not inconsistency.
If this was a team that was good one year, bad one year, and then good again and then bad again, sure we can make the argument about inconsistency.
This isn't inconsistency.
This is predictable and consistent. 3 massive 18-wheeler type stretches in 4 years is fantastically consistent.

close but you hit the post
first off
the past two collapses should have been our past two 82 game seasons , where this exact same thing happened , what happens over a 11 minute span is moot when measuring it to a seasons woes, the only relevance is the pain factor
secondly , if
one would look at those past 2 full seasons and had kept an eye on the metrics, then this massive collapse should come as little surprise.
this roster, the past history and this years metrics all pointed to a repeat

Everyone knew from day 1 this season knew the team would be a borderline bubble team.
Everyone knew from day 1 this season Carlyle should have been gone after last season and no real changes were made to the system.
Everyone knew from day 1 this season that shuffling bottom 6 players wasn't going to change the team identity.
There's nothing inconsistent about a team with a proven track record of not being good enough not being good enough. There is absolutely nothing surprising about this year.
Shanahan's plan has always been to burn this year figuring out what he can do and then using Nonis/Carlyle as the fall guys. His plan (or lack of) should start to become pretty apparent by the TDL.

All teams go on hot stretches, including other consistent bottom 10 teams.
It's not inconsistency, because that implies the team is better than what theyve shown. Its simply that its a bad team, and that theyre as bad as what theyve consistently shown over 82 game seasons.

not sure using the term "everyone" is right
I had them predicted to pick 5th overall before the season started. that ain't a bubble PO team
to call this team a bubble team/mediocre (look up the meaning)/middle of the road
would be flat out wrong and too generous.
they have not been that team over 82 games since they fired jfj jr , I can't believe how long it takes folks to see that.

Already dead? No kidding, from the smell, I'd say they were well underway with some serious decomposition!
They STINK to high heavens!

Look at the standings man - look at where they generally finish, and where they pick in the draft; it's a middle of the road, mediocre, average team.
If it truly was a horrific team, they would be stacked up like Edmonton or Florida with highly talented young players. They aren't.

Well, I did say "borderline" bubble team, meaning they'd be lucky to be in a fight for the last slot. They could still easily finish a few points outside the playoffs if they string together a good stretch, there's a lot of games left and Lupul usually comes in hot after injuries, he could wake some guys up and throw a wrench into the draft position.
Regardless, it's all semantics, they were never good enough to have any success. Getting swept in the first round would essentially be the Leaf's version of winning the cup this year.

average/middle of the road, mediocre is 15 th in the standings in a 30 team league, we have not been that lofty since they fired jfj jr.
so ya go look at the standings.
