I am not complaining that we didn't dominate our opponents. I couldn't care less if we won by 100 or won by 1 as we ended up champions. Frankly, I'm grateful as a fan that we had the exact season we did because it made it a million times more satisfying.
I am merely stating that we didn't have unlimited amounts of error last year and very likely won't this year either.
But please, keep responding to me like I'm complaining about the team and the season. It's nice when you talk past what I am very clearly articulating because of some made-up agenda in your mind.

While all you say is true, it's looking like the defense THIS year just may be leaps and bounds better than anything we've put on the field since Pat arrived. Barring injuries we have one of the best LB trios in the NFL and the secondary is in year 2 of the scheme they've been taught.
While we are better with CJ than without I think Veachs next step in his plan is replacing CJ after this year. Betting he has his eye on a certain college player right now , plus a couple fA's coming up. He needs a better draft position than 32 so how does he get there
