Maybe this team is closer than I think, maybe we are somehow able to add a couple of critical pieces in the off season and finally put together a complete season and make the playoffs? Then again maybe we need some changes at the top? I think Steichen has a good football mind I see no reason to fire him at this point. I can't see CIG firing Ballard after allowing him to trade for Sauce, she almost has to go with him until we have a first rounder again.

This is exactly my feeling. Ballard will most likely be back and with his inability to scout QBs or pass rushers we will be the same 8-9 win team with some form of the exact same excuses. Depressing beyond all belief.
