What's so hilariously frustrating about this season is that even without Luck we could still very well be 5-3 if we had just a semi-competent head coach and coaching staff. The Cardinals, Titans, and Bengals losses were all VERY winnable with a competent head coach/coaching staff. Hell, even though the Seahawks beat us by 32, that game was close at halftime. If we had a coach who didn't just go into the halftime lockeroom and clap his hands a few dozen times before relaxing and catching up on his needlpoint the rest of halftime, we might have actually remained competitive the rest of the game.
However, at this point I'm actually ok with us losing games because it means we get a higher draft pick. Luck is obviously, probably, not coming back this season or any time soon, so we're probably better off losing as many games as possible. But it's still extremely frustrating to see us sitting at 2-6 when three or four of our six losses were VERY winnable games.
