This team wasn't as talented as we thought they were last year and its even worse this year.
Several reasons...
- They had the lead in the 4th quarter in most of their losses and couldn't finish. In previous years the same players could and did finish.
- Historically reliable kicker fell apart or they would have been in playoffs. In previous years...
- Two star players couldn't get in the field at the same time (they are still in the roster and healthy). In previous years...
- You named 4 players out of 50+ that either had a tough year or are developing.
The core group of talent at key positions hasn't changed. The roster was and still is immensely talented and in their prime. They grossly underachieved last year. I don't see another way to look at it.
