And what about losing to backup QBs to the Texans?
I'm not saying it's going to happen next year, and I'm not saying I trust them to build a dynasty like the Patriots, but things CAN change. And this team's recent history has been good. Quality coordinators and coaches, combined with blue chip players, CAN WIN.
Yes, they do need to be more aggressive in FA. And I still think that we need a coach who is willing to tell Mike that that's what it takes to take the next step.
We lost playoff games with Gruden and Zimmer as coordinators when we had a good roster. Our defense melted down some of those years. Our offense made errors. Guys dropped passes. It's a bunch of different things.
This team has a culture that breeds losing. The team finds ways to lose. Just like when they had a 17-0 lead against the Steelers and lost it.
That's what you guys don't get. The issues in Primetime are just a precursor to playoff losses. When the lights come on, the team shrinks.
