Here are the big three questions in my mind that will have to be answered this year for us to have a good season:
1. Can AP stay healthy and play at the same level as last year?
If he can, than it's going to be a fun team to watch no matter what happens.
2. Is Ponder going to improve from last year or is he not the answer?
Ponder could improve from last season and we could still start out 1-3 and have a losing season if AP were to get hurt or if our defense doesn't hold up. If Ponder proves not to be the answer then we will almost certainly have a losing record this season. If so we can hopefully get a franchise quarterback in next years draft.
3. Will our pass rush and young secondary hold up?
If our secondary sucks than we will almost certainly finish last in our Division this year.
Post Game Thoughts: What a hot mess that game turned into. Ponder as erratic and mistake filled as ever. The O-Line not giving Ponder or AP much help. Musgrave's questionable play calling not helping matters either. The Defense had as many or more issues than the Offense today. Giving up 34 points in a game isn't acceptable. This game reminded me a bit of the total team meltdown we had in Chicago last year. Also I have to give credit to the Lions. They could be a scary good team if they don't shoot themselves in the foot.
On the plus side AP, the receivers, and Walsh looked good for the most part.. I'm not optimistic about next weeks game in Chicago, but I think we have a shot at going into the bye 2-2.
