Those distractions aren't present this year.
Gah, I wrote out a nice post and now its gone
Anyways, this is absolutely false; we had a masively underachieving oline, misfortune and injuries that we couldn't overcome in 2010.
Owens was having a PB-Calibre year (after 13 games), Chad was right behind him (in 13 games), Gresh and Shipley had great years receiving, defense was slightly above average and the late surge from our back-end WRs proved that we didn't need Owens or Chad anyways.
Distractions meant absolutely nothing and did nothing to affect the team, adversely. We had horrible kicking, outside of Nuge', an oline that didn't play nearly up to snuff (and Ced suffered as a result) and bad bounces and the like.
Its amazing how such small things, can ruin a season; its hard to get everything firing on all cylinders, in sync.
