I expected 10-11 wins and at least a divisional round win.
We beat the Seahawks and were 7.5 underdogs to a team that beat us by 8. Is that falling flat?
Fred going down basically sealed the fact of this team not going far in the playoffs. I said before the playoffs started that we would win one or two games in the playoffs, the big picture is that this is still a very young team.
I don't care about betting lines. The team fell flat on their collective faces last night.
Kupp is our Beasley, who missed most of the game. Woods is the best receiver they have. And if you think Anderson would have held up for 39 carries, I just gonna have to disagree there.
That’s your opinion, based on your prediction.Before the season began, I was waffling between 8-8 and 9-7 with no real thoughts about a deep playoff run. I actually was parroting my mantra of "anything short of a deep playoff run and Garrett should be gonzo" because I truly felt it wouldn't happen and entered this season thinking him getting fired was a real possibility.
Welp.. we are now stuck in the middle. He took us deep into the playoffs. Is this considered deep? I guess that's debatable. Does Jerry extend him? Lord.. The thought makes me cringe.
Anyways.. I digress... As a team, we did overachieve to a huge extent this year. Our team is very young too. One of the youngest teams in the NFL...
One thing I never felt down the stretch this year was that the team would snatch my heart from my chest. You guys know that old feeling we have all endured over the past 10 to 12 seasons. Those young guys battle to the very end and up until the very end of that game last night I felt we still had a chance.
But lackluster strategy, situational preparation, and play calling will take you down. That's reality. We have to get better in several areas including the OC.
