How many of you expected the opposite of how this year turned out?

[Snake]

I would have never expected us to put up so many points and have the same amount of wins as last year.

Hurts to lose Beason and TD...they were the heart and soul of our defense. Yes, every team has injuries, but not injuries with that impact. Alot of what if's are gonna make up our season this year. Given the way our offense has played (minus Tennessee game) how many of these close games do you think we would have lost with those animals?

i think our defense has been spotty, but our defense coupled with special teams is pretty hard to win with sooooo i think we would have won the majority if they both played avg.

i was expecting the year to turn out the way it is. Its a rebuilding year. We did not hired any help on defence. Cam has done better than expected. We are 5-6 players away on defence for being 8-2 this year. (not count the IR ones). Now next year......different story!!! Playoffs is the expectation

[rayzor]

i expected it to be sloppy. i expected to see flashes of great things to expect in the future.

i didn't expect a lot of wins.

yeah...i'm getting what i expected. i was more than impressed with the way cam and the offense has looked, even though i expected great things from newton.

the future looks bright.

[Ricky Spanish]

i expected NO MORE than 5 wins this year while half this board expected the playoffs.

no way in hell we even make it to 5 wins now.

ah how cute.

i have a stalker.

[R0CKnR0LLA]

At least own up to your own bullsh*t.

"Hey I agree we'll win 8 or 9 games."

Ten games into the season sitting at 2-8 "ohh I didn't expect alot of wins"

LOL

among others.

the thread you pointed out was on one of my more optimistic days, i suppose. i can have them. it's not against the rules. and it's not against the rules to change yoru mind from time to time about things and it doesn't make you full of bs either.

once the season got started i felt like we could win most of them and i thought the schedule wasn't as bad as it looked, but that was more hoping. what i expected in this season and what i expected in a rookie QBs season here was what i said.

go ahead and spend more time trying to prove that you're better than me or i'm full of BS or something else productive.

meanwhile, i'm going to go eat supper and hang out with the fam.

congrats in advance of finding other places i might be/am wrong. just so you know...it doens't bother me. i expect that as well. it's part of everyone's life.

Expected the offense to be great, expected the defense to be greater.

1 for 2 ain't too bad.

[stirs]

I predicted 4-12 and a top 5 pick in next years draft.

Looks like right now a 3-13 record and a top 3 pick

[CardiacCats]

This is about what I expected, but next year anyhting less than a playoff berth will be a dissapointment.

agreed, but we have to remember who else is in the division. we've got the saints that we have to topple.

i don't think that the bucs or even the falcons will really be problems, but the saints will be for a couple years the stiffest competition. if we are left vying for a wildcard spot, i think we'll be ok. the top compeition will probably be like it is this year, from the NFCN.

i do expect us to be in a position to get a playoff spot or at least be legit contenders for it. i'd be happy with just a winning season next year, but i'd consider 10 wins with or without a playoff spot a successful year and proof that we are headed in the right direction.
