Expectations

[davos]

I've been trying to read some of the posts here after our loss and I'll admit people are mostly confused about our team and what happened.

At the beginning of the season, this board and fans around were optimistic but not necessarily expecting much. A new RB, Delhomme coming back, and older Moose back...basically a lot of uncertainty. This allowed fans to not expect much especially after Smith's suspension (correct me if I'm wrong). Throughout the year, our Defense was average and the offense was strong...we went 12-4. From a team in dissaray last year (David Carr babay!) to a 12-4 playoff team.

John Fox & Co. - I simply cannot say they are bad for this organization. One thing to consider...they have never gone to the playoffs in consecutive seasons. Personally, I will give them one more shot at this given how much they turned our team around in a single year.

Considering Richardson's health issues, the practical solutions are not going to be huge changes to our team. So if you disagree with me, what can you actually see being done?

Something else to consider: Did the team exceed or miss your expectations for the year? Was anyone expecting Delhomme to be great after being the first QB to come back from that surgery? IMO, playoff teams need good insurance policies, not renovations.

(Apologies if this seems scattered)

Philly beat New York and if the Panthers would have taken care of business last Saturday.......that's the main cause of frustration here; just being so fuging close to the Super Bowl and not following through :banghead:
