This year we all see the product on the field. I know that they lost some players, and some coaches changed, but I did not see them falling this far. The really good franchises lose people all the time, yet still find a way to persevere.
They lost a lot of players and are playing a 1st place schedule that was front-loaded.
Look at teams like the Cardinals and Panthers. This kind of thing happens in the NFL.
It's pretty amazing that we were able to make the playoffs for 5 years in a row.
Personally, I blame the drafting of the past 3-4 years. The guys we lost have been replaced with lesser quality guys.
