Why not us? 2017 Playoffs

[quinnearlysghost88]

Reasons we won't make the playoffs:

 

#1, 2 ,3 & 4 -- Bad cap management that led to losing Gillislee, Woods, Z Brown & Gilmore are four reasons we don't make the playoffs.

#5 -- We do not have a starting OLB to play with Rags and P Brown.

#6 -- Cornerbacks are; Darby who is coming off a bad year; one possibly good rookie; and a marginal 2nd year 6th round pick.

#7 -- No LB depth or DB depth.

#8 -- A kicker that cannot make extra points.

#9 -- A QB that can't / won't throw over the middle or look at #3 or #4 target. It's a run if target 1 & 2 are not open.

#10 -- Ineffective back-up at RB coupled with a 30 year old starter who is getting more and more banged up every year.

#11 -- Only one good tight end.

#12 -- One oft injured #1 WR who may not be back to start the season, a number 2 that has never caught a pass in the NFL and a group of unimpressive throw-aways filling out the rest of the group.

#13 -- A good run blocking line but a poor pass blocking line -- all learning a new offense.

#14 -- Lack of leadership.

#15 -- Both Dolphins and Jets had a better draft than we did.

#8. He missed 6 PATs last year and five were blocked. Whose fault is that?

The kicker's.

More difficult schedule and a worse roster with a rookie QB. Even though Rex was awful I think it's a tall order to ask McD to get this team to the playoffs year 1. I think we should tank for the 2018 QB class and finally stop trying to patch holes year to year.

I was like you, once. I kind of miss it, too.

I was being sarcastic, but the schedule isn't always tough as it seems.

Classic addition through subtraction. Not having Rex as our HC is going to help us immensely.

This isn't an 11 win team, not playing the Pats (as they are expected to be) twice.
