Must have been good coaching to get us there.
(Texans D was >>>> than our D that game)
Would Dalton be viewed more favorably if we didn't make the playoffs those first 2 years?
Look, I was pleasantly surprised by the 2011 team but people act like we were the 1980 USA hockey team toppling the USSR team, or something. This isn't a knock on Dalton, but if you look beyond the W/L records and the invitation to flop in the playoffs twice, the difference between the 2009, 2010, and 2011 teams is pretty negligible. We didn't actually turn the corner until 2012.
