So win or lose im happy =)
The thing about last year is that even though we were clearly a bad team, the talent was still there on both sides of the ball. I think that's what made the season so difficult to watch. You could really see in the games against Philly, Miami, and Baltimore at the end there that this team definitely has talent. Made a run at Pittsburgh, didn't get blown out by anyone for the most part and allowed 30 points only one time and that was to New England in Brady's first home game back during a game that we led in the 3rd quarter.
The challenge now is putting it all together. Marvin Lewis has shown that he can put together a regular season winner, so nobody should be surprised if that happens. The real question is whether this team will EVER be able to make a postseason run with ML leading the team. At this point, it's psychological as much as it is a competency issue from Marvin's standpoint.
