But, the year before that...our roster was fairly similar and we won 7 games.
I guess I wouldn't bank on health making us a contender alone. With $50+ million cap space, why not clearly upgrade 2-3 positions?
I never bought the injury excuse last year. We won a few games by the skin of our teeth. The main reasons we lost was terrible defense (which was awful before injuries) and poor pass blocking. Hopefully Zac Taylor makes a big difference because our defensive personnel is probably worse.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
