Let's also not forget that SIX of our loses came against eventual playoff teams. Those are games you are supposed to lose when fielding backups in key positions.

Oh I'll add our DC's have bailed and Allen only let a RB coach go ( that's a sign of good leadership) I'm curious who really wants to come to a sinking ship under Allen watch. They are going to be hard up for a job to work under this clown.

OTOH, the flip side of that could also be argued. Just how many of our wins could have been losses... all except one or two maybe? We're not that far off from a 3 win season... just has to be next year to reap the proper benefits. We have to purge and clean up our cap and infuse real good young talent on rookie contracts.

If we're going to suck, might as well suck and not be way over the cap. It's time to clean up the CC.
