Oh yes !  They certainly were playing like a tired young team.  Need to get relaxed and back in the groove again.

Still  at 40 40  .500  half way through the season would be considered "ok" before the season  started.  What blows your mind is they swept MIN and LAD both 1st place teams on the road and get swept by lowly DET......go figure.   

Oh well they're the youngest by far look out next year but try to get it back into gear this year.  AND Tito is notorious for his second half teams.....maybe we're in for some surprises yet to come.
