## Caption

Six straight losses have forced us to reevaluate a lot of our preseason and early-season takes. It’s only fair to look back and ask where our assumptions missed the mark. This isn't about apologizing for old takes, it’s about learning what this stretch has taught us about the roster and what we might’ve missed.
