The season is over.
Well, there’s one more week, but once the postseason hope is over, the season is gone.
We’ll save the full autopsy for after Week 18, but we can start with the negative superlatives before that.
Every season is going to have its disappointing players. Whether it’s free agents who haven’t lived up to the hype, promising rookies who deal with a sophomore slump, veterans who hit an age wall, or players who don’t make the expected leap, every team has some underachievers, even the eventual Super Bowl champion. A roster of 53 players is hardly going to be exactly as planned from beginning to end.
