There was a diaspora of good coaches afterwards as well.  They all chased promotions for the most part, but did the feeling of leaving a shit show internally play into it?  

Maybe the guys that have been here throughout the Dalton era have finally been Bengalized.  I sure as hell hope not, because it would be an absolute shame.  They work their asses of year in and year out and meet the same end every single time.  Maybe they've just stopped believing that they can do it.  It sure looked like a lot of the fight and tenacity had gone out of them in Dallas.

Between the Wild Card game, and the Week 2 game in Pittsburgh, it seems like the team has given up.  Honestly, I can't blame them.  It seems pretty obvious that the league is happy to let certain teams get preferential treatment.
