Clearly, the only drama left in the season will be the fate of the coaching staff and front office when Black Monday comes. As many of you have figured out, I believe in numbers. We can give into simple narratives and when you look at a 4-13 record and then a 1-12-1 record it is easy to say this team is worse than it was a year ago. What we know though is that the standings don’t tell the whole story.
For one, the team was only 3-11 at this point in the season last year. They won a key game against the Los Angeles Chargers that effectively cost them a playoff berth last season.
