7-9 + 7-9 = BIGGEST COACHING CONTRACT IN NFL + 5 YEAR EXTENSION

The result... 7-9 in 2016 and missed playoffs third year in a row.

If defense is the problem, it's SP's job to FIX IT!

Personally I feel Payton is fixing it. That's why he got rid of Ryan. Dennis Allen did a very respectable job improving a defense that was arguably the worst in the league the previous two season into one several notches better with patchwork players that will not be anywhere near good enough to make next season's roster with all of the defensive starters that left with injury.

I am seeing growth and improvement. Yes, the record was the same 7-9, but it was a far better team on the field than the previous two seasons.
