Agree. This season was fools gold and the defense is the only reason the team finished over .500. This team in any other division, including the NFC east wouldn't win more then 6 games. I'm hoping this was the ultimate last straw for McNair and he lights a fire under everyone in the organization. Bill O'Brien needs to be put on notice by McNair to get his **** together when it comes to bringing stability to the QB position.
Considering what we went into the season with (trash QB's).....I'd say winning the division, even in the crappy division....was a plus. Didn't really expect much from the beginning with Mallet and Hoyer. Glad we know what we had in each though....or didn't have in this case.
Sigh It was a good season overall. Somebody had to win the crap division. Once they got to 6-5, I was all in on them being a one and done. I am satisfied
True It is believed Luck was mostly injured when he did play, but I'd gladly accept a regression in his skills this season and going forward. The dumbest besides the Hoy-let experiment was IR'ing Savage. Instead of seeing what we might have in him, we'll get bent-over trying to trade up for talent. Or maybe the coaches had zero belief in him anyways.. which would be another indictment on their judgment. It was GREAT finally winning @Indy though.
In the distant future, the only thing that will remain will be the record, so it will be good in that it was a winning season. But this was probably the worst playoff showing in a long while, so it will be hard to forget that or live that down.
