Thought that model was going to sign the "shocker"? The internet would explode!

I'd be all for that running across the southern border... ;)

Re: We took our eye off the division
 

the only shocker is fans advocating for 7-9 because we have a history being worse.

Re: We took our eye off the division
 

You've got a point there. I've been through some of the bad times so a few 7-9 seasons in a row don't send me over the edge.

It's easy to accept mediocrity when it used to be so much worse. But it is nonetheless unacceptable. I don't think anyone needs to be in panic mode either.

I do feel like we're gonna kick ass this season tho and make it to the playoffs.

Re: We took our eye off the division
 

Exactly. When the team is mired in four or five win seasons you see no hope. Seven win seasons are a play or two a week away from being ten win seasons with the trip to post season. While I am disappointed by 7-9 seasons, I am not terribly worried because with a few minor tweaks they can easily win 12 or 13 next year.

Re: We took our eye off the division
 

I don't think it is panic mode, but I think it is being realistic. We have been 7-9 four of the last 5 seasons. That's plain terrible, and despite how we fought and were close in multiple games this season this team was nowhere close to a 10 win team. Really far off.

Yeah, I am hoping we break through next year and I do think it is possible, but I also think it is possible we are 7-9 again

Re: We took our eye off the division
 

Every team in the league can possibly finish 7-9 next season. Every last one. So many factors involved.

Victim mentality is what I mean. Those who won't blame anything on the FO on what happens to the team and just calls it luck and a situation unavoidable. Maybe they should explain why 2014 happened the way it did in free agency.
