Bad teams win later in the season because players are playing for their career

I think WJIII being gone the first pitt game, and losing Phillips throughout the season helped ruin this team's chances on defense.  It was a MASSIVE drop off in talent and the opposing teams knew it. 

It wasn't the only reason on defense (lack of pressure in the middle of the defensive line, porous run defense early on there as well...) but it was a very large reason why they are 4-10-1.  

Agreed, but going into the season, you gotta think they saw CB1 and CB2 as Jax and Waynes. Waynes didn't play at all, Jax out, Phillips out, the depth became starters, guys that were PS material became depth. Mac missed some time too.
