Couple of predictions from Sports Illustrated.

We're coming off of 2 straight losing seasons and 27 without a playoff win. What are we even defending? It certainly isn't excellence. It isn't even "good". It's a whole lot of bad, followed by some mediocrity, then stagnating at "pretty good, but can't win a playoff game", followed by pretty bad again. If there was even a single run to the AFC title game mixed in there somewhere (during Marv's tenure), I don't think people would be nearly as frustrated. 

Or if Mike Brown showed any real signs of change. Or if Marv had a couple playoff wins and a slightly less hopeless record against the Steelers. All these things combined leaves very little room for hope with logical people.
