This was the reload year. This was very likely expected and planned for. They played with a ton of young talent this year. How can this year not be viewed as the rebuilding year? Looking back...do you think the organization believes they were ready to be the most elite team in the NFL?
Trust in the process. This was the low; next year we go back up.
Everybody keeps saying this was the reload or rebuilding year,,,,how so? I agree we have a lot of youth on the team and they saw their fair share of playing time, but who in the world has shown any kind of potential among them? If we are rebuilding with these same players, this team is in a crap load of trouble.
The whole reload/rebuild excuse is just that, an excuse.
You don't initiate a "reload" that just about gets your franchise QB killed, forget about one of the most physically gifted TE's in the history of the game, and ultimately gives fans a total playoff thrashing two games deep into a playoff run.
The team needs some major surgery this off-season.
