Playoffs would have been very cool, but still pretty awesome season from a performance standpoint. At one point we were 4-5 and we finished on a 5-2 run with Mallett/Fitz/Keenum at QB. We won today with Keenum giving away points and Arian missing most of the game.
This team just got very good at winning games. Under Kubiak we were always better at playing football than we were at winning football games. This team is the opposite. BOB knows how to shorten a game, steal a first down, invent a way to stretch the field, play to his strengths, etc... We are a 2-14 team in year 1 of a roster turnover, playing new systems on both sides of the ball with no QB. And we won 9 games and were alive for the playoffs until the last 10 minutes of the season.
Head Coach and QB are the 2 most important factors to winning and we are set at one of those.
