I hope Dennis Allen becomes the next Belichick but I think the odds are that a consistent 4-12 guy does not make the playoffs. Its hard to reconcile with our improved roster but I feel DA is our biggest question mark, in addition to durability of an old and injury prone roster.

Well, since you mentioned Belichick, his first 3 years as HC were losing records as well as 5 of his first 6 seasons. His last year in Cleveland he was 5-11 then he was 5-11 his next season (first at NE). The 4-12 record Allen had at the dysfunctional Raiders is more on the organization and talent level than his coaching IMO. Time will tell though.
