Probably the worst part about this season. Why can't we take that next step with what we have now? What is the problem?

In b4 "our QB is not the leader of men like those guys"

So far, JR has failed to put the proper team around Cam. Firing Hurney hopefully was a start.

I feel like our talent is just as good if not better than most of these teams. Even with injuries we still have better players than most of these teams that made it.

How many of those teams I listed are being anchored by rookies? At least half.

This shitt shouldn't take so long.

Look at the HCs/staffs.

Coaching.

Besides, we have definitely looked like a playoff caliber team. See our destruction over Atlanta. We just don't know how to close. And yet for all of our issues this year, we STILL finished 7-9. So I don't think we are that far off. But I just don't trust our coaching.

We're not as talented as any of those teams save Washington and Indy. And Washington and Indy both have a much better coaching staff.

Colts - interm coach that was recently fired from steelers leads rookies and some old vets to playoffs.

Redskins- another fired coach with a crappy team lead by two rookies (rg3 and Morris).

Seahawks - college coach on hot seat starting rookie third round QB and young secondary.

Bengals - coach on hot seat but makes playoffs back to back seasons lead by young players dalton and green.

Vikings - another hot seat coach with a young unproven QB and rookie leaders.

Lets not pretend like the AFC is a tough division for any other teams than the top 7.

We're unlucky, cursed almost

Offensive play calling early in the year along with lack of talent in the defensive secondary are the two largest factors imo

change the coach, get deep threat, fix oline and fix defense.

JR (mainly) and coaching

I know one thing; that Colts team is really bad. They have a bad defense, bad offensive line, and Luck wins despite his turnovers. I don't really care anymore, the Panthers just piss me off so much doing the season it don't make since. We go 3-7 in till the month of December and some how we go 4-0 and all of sudden Rivera is safe. I don't understand that but whatever. Everybody already know that JR is cheap and going to bring back Rivera.

I know it will come off as an excuse, but our schedule this year was pretty brutal.

Kansas City, Philly, and Oakland all sucked. But that was it. Every other team we played was pretty good.

When I look back at the schedule with the power of hindsight and think "which games should we have easily won" Those are the only 3 games that I can come up with. Still can't believe we lost to KC.

The other 13 games, there are a handful that I figure we were legit underdogs (both ATL games, @NO, @CHI, and DEN), and then 8 games that I would consider just complete toss ups.

Let's put it this way. There is no such thing as a good loss. All losses suck. But when I look back at out schedule in hindsight, there is really only one game that we lost that is truly a headscratcher and that was Kansas City.

Again that isn't an excuse for our record, we should have been 10-6 and could have been 14-2. But this schedule wasn't cupcake city either. Every Sunday was a battle against teams that were just as good as we were. We lost some because of coaching, we lost some because of bad play, and we lost some because of bad luck.
