We were able to simply out-talent ALOT of our schedule last year and the losses clearly came from the teams that we couldn't do that - let's see how that works for us this year.
I don’t disagree with that assessment, but I would add that last year we were dealing with inexperience at QB, which hurt us in our 2 early “big boy” games last year. They persevered and won the title, and we shall see if they are ready for the next step. I personally feel like we are either going to shock the world or severely underperform. Really hope it’s not the latter.
