We Aren't Blowing It Up, So What Now?

We were not missing 8 starters for the first 5 games when we were 2-3. The last two games, yes that can be excused but the first 5 games were not good and we were relatively healthy.........and the defense has only had a handful of injuries.

How is 2-3 in 5 games with two wins by blowout and two losses in the last minute or last seconds not about average?
