In all fairness we only beat what, 1 team with a winning record in 2011?  Maybe 2, I used to know this. Being good 2012-2015 kept it from being a fluke, obviously.  Still, the 2011 team against that 2010 schedule would have been ugly. 


Anyways, I'm sure im not alone when i admit I've predicted bad and things went good and predicted good and things went bad. 

Absolutely. They had the benefit of an easy schedule, and the rest of the league had to deal with the strike as well. In hindsight, keeping Marvin after 2010 was probably a good move also (one I was not happy with at the time). He provided continuity and keeping a lot of systems, the culture, etc in place most likely provided an advantage over teams coming in with new staffs. 

So, that reboot was more personnel than anything, although we did add Gruden during that off-season. With this one, you're completely changing philosophy, systems, etc, AND replacing personnel due to that. I say year 3 is sink or swim. We're not going to have a cake walk schedule like 2011, but they need to be at 500 minimum.
