Now, don't get me wrong, this could continue into the season.  However, until it does, it doesn't mean anything.

If we went 12-4 last season, won a playoff game or two, and basically had the same team going in this year I'd fully agree with you. But we don't !

The real reason is complacency. When an organization like ours leans on the side of loyalty instead of running it like a business, there is less accountability. Therefore, less fear of poor performance and decisions from everyone in the organization down to the mascot.

Exactly Harley

Mike Browns weird obsession with honoring contracts and on and on kills accountability - period.
