That was only because every team in our division sucked on the same level.

They can't be content with nearly making the playoffs, because the fact of the matter is some very shocking teams beat us.

If they fall into that "we nearly made the playoffs so let's not change anything" then it's going to be rough year after rough year.

I get that. How about changing the QB? That is the single most impactful position on the team. Let's address that. How about changing the playcalling? I addressed that a few minutes ago.

The defense was one of the best in the league, especially down the stretch. That's not easy when your offense is constantly going three and out. If we can get the offense even respectable we can be dangerous again.

I do not believe we are far away. A few less key players sitting on IR or on the bench would help, as well.

Only one team in our division sucked at the same level, or a bit worse than us. The other two teams actually sucked less than us, and beat us TWICE.

We DO fall into that "we nearly made the playoffs so let's not change anything", right after the "this team needs to lose to that team and then another team needs to lose to another team, to give us a chance of limping into the playoffs" period of our season - - - and some are ALREADY making excuses for what could be another really rough year (maybe years) ahead. Fascinating.
