I didn't predict 10 wins, I don't think I even made a guess; as what I figured would happen is pretty much coming to fruition. Very hard to play this level of football without an O-line. We could probably draft the entire O-line on many college teams and make us markedly better. As to whether Dalton, Mixon, or anybody else is any good, who knows? Pretty sure the coaching staff as a whole needs to go, and I've said this for several YEARS now. I didn't even watch our game other than what popped up on the Redzone, as I pretty much can't handle the stress. I did watch the Patriots in the nightcap, and the coaching is ALL that matters. Exhibit A, Rex Burkhead, could barely make it off the bench here, all world for New England tonight. Other than Brady and Gronk, it would be hard to name any "superstars" on their team, where one could say....if we only had THAT guy on our team it would fix everything. All in all, I've never seen the North suck this badly. While Cleveland is still the worst, the Ravens and us aren't far behind. The Steelers are so bored with their division competition, they're losing their edge. They didn't have to blatantly cheat even once to destroy us, and they won't next time either, though they probably will a time or two to keep sharp for the playoffs. Possibly the worst season ever, in the 90's we went into most seasons without any expectations; and we probably should have done the same for this year.
