Just because the season is actually over and we came so close.  The fact that we're "ranked" #1 going into next season says everything about how harsh of a blow this game was.

I think I might puke...

Things are looking great for next season. We'll move Daryl Williams to RT replacing Remmers, and KB will return to the #1 WR spot. BPA in the draft, pick up some FAs as needed, and make another run at the SB.

The next NFC South team is the Falcons at #17. We'll be heavy favorites to 4-peat as NFC South champs and most likely end up with another 1st round bye going into the playoffs.

THe Steelers almost beat this Broncos team and that's with Big Ben in a wheelchair no Brown and no #1/2 RB....we let a much much easier SB slip by than a fully Healthy Steelers team or the Pats again at full str...Broncos are done obviously this was their.....uhh...fug...superbowl.

No doubt we are the best team in the NFL going into next season, we improve by a huge margin going into 2016.

 

Qb: Cam 
Rb: Stewart, Cap, Fozz

FB: Tolbert 
WR: KB, Funchess, FA/Draftee, Brown 

TE: Olsen, Dickson 

LT: Oher 
LG: Norwell

C: Kalil

RG: Turner

RT: Williams 

LE: CJ, Addison

DT: KK, Star, Love 
RE: Ealy, Delaire, FA/Draftee 

OLB: TD, Shaq

ILB: Kuechly 

CB: Norman, Bene, FA/Draftee, Mccain 

FS: Coleman

SS: Boston

 

Our defense is freaking stacked.

[Smithers]

Tolbert, Harper and CJ should not have a roster spot next season.  They contribute nothing and cost us at times.  It's time to move on from these aging, worthless vets.

Yeah, it hurts to get it thrown back in your face when you lose, but i really hope this team doesnt lose their personality with the newfound expectations.

Like it or not, that personality helped get them to this point and has given the franchise an identity they havent had in a long time.

I'm certainly marking the date on my calendar for 11 months from now when we get kicked in the balls in the playoffs by a team with a lower power ranking.  Can't wait!!
