Let's go back an review the off season:
The Ravens lost 4 or 5 started again and gained nothing but rookies in the off season.
The Steelers were extremely healthy in 2014 as their skilled receivers and RB Bell missed no regular season games. In 2015, we knew they had Bryant suspended for 4 games and Bell for 2 games, yet many picked them.
The Bengals kept every starter but an aging T. Newman, add MJ back to the mix. They also got back Eifert and jones (like 2 extra 1st round picks).
Did you take the media bate?
I think the media who picked against us need to be called out for a very bad prediction. The facts were there, they just ignored them.
Thoughts?
They obviously paid no attention to the developments in the AFC North. We made the playoffs as a shell of ourselves. Not sure how they thought we would get worse with everyone getting healthy and adding Michael Johnson back to the mix.
