I'm sure this has been covered and it makes me sad to type it up but I felt it needed to be said to uncover what might need to be done in the offseason.

This was definitely a 9-7 team. We didn't beat anyone this year.

Wins:

Browns 3-13?
Packers 6-10
Eagles 9-6-1
Bengals 4-11-1
Tampa Bay 9-7
Niners 7-9
Seahawks 5-11?
Skins 8-8
Giants 12-4

Now, we beat 3 teams over .500. Two of which are divisional opponents that beat us at one point. The other was a team with real issues that were exposed down the stretch when the games started to count. (Sound familiar?)

Looking back on the season, this team just didnt show up when it mattered. Either that or the team just wasn't good enough to hang with the better teams.

Losses:

Skins 8-8
Cards 9-7?
Rams, dude 2-14
Giants 12-4
Steelers 12-4
Ravens 11-5
Eagles 9-6-1

With the exception of the Rams and Skins these were all playoff teams. Notice the theme. We could beat the pretenders but lost in heart-breaking fashion to the contenders on the schedule.

Each loss high-lighted by some sort of mental breakdown or host of errors.

Errors are the result of coaching. There has to be a change there is some form. I think Wade should stay but we may need a tudor for Jason Garrett. Maybe a new OL coach as well. Sparano handled both last year and I feel we really miss what he brought to the table.

That is all.
