I want to date our issues back to 2011 and then to 2016. In 2011, we were 0-7, and finished 6-3. That run, didn't allow the team to be properly evaluated from a talent standpoint. Yes we needed a qb, but maybe if they had realized the foundation of the team was fragile, we would have been better equipped to protect the new franchise qb. As for 2016, the team should have been evaluated from its losses to Baltimore, Pats and Steelers. However, they were evaluated for their 6 wins in a row, and finishing 9-3. The problem is how they lost and why they lost those three games. It was masked from the prior winning. I hope we don't start winning a bunch of games. Let the sky fall, so everything can be evaluated properly
If winning is causing bad evaluations, then it's just bad evaluating and I wouldn't trust them to evaluate after a losing streak either. If they are basing evaluations on small samples of 6ish games ... again that is just dirt poor analyzing and losing wouldn't change that. Either you can evaluate or you can't. If we can't, we need new FO people.
I believe winning masked some of the weaknesses we had. It wasn't sustainable wins. They were not part of our DNA. The offensive line carried us last year. by year end, we were decimated. However, they refused to go after linemen in the offseason
I agree a lot with this, beating lower level talent yet still losing to upper tier teams, isn't very good evaluation base on whatever their goal is, if the goal is to limp in the playoffs and get a wild card then I guess they are doing an accurate job and being ok with mediocrity, however if I were them I would base my play every year against the pats and top tier teams if your still losing to them you need to be better but we don't we stay the same and live on "Hopes" that next yr with the same team is going to be better.
they win!!!!!!!!!!!!!? a good hC and qb and somehow always find talents in the draft lol I mean I know teams change yearly to be successful like ATL last yr Philly this yr etc. But teams who are pretty much always on top of the spectrum the last 15 years play in the afc pitts pats I mean if you want to be great you have to try and beat the greats right?
