It's important to remember that we played a lot better this year against the bigger teams, and our most disappointing performances came in games when we were expected to win handily. I think that bodes well for next year, the personality of this team responds to a challenge well, and next year's schedule throws up some mouthwatering challenges. Who knows what will happen , but if you're not optimistic about the future of this team right now you probably never will be.

Not saying they're guaranteed wins but right this moment I wouldn't be overly concerned about playing either team here next week. I think we'll be alright next year. Looking forward to seeing this D get a shot at a healthier Luck. My biggest concerns are: will Calais be as effective next year being a year older?; will we retain or effectively replace Colvin?; and what will we do at QB? We're not getting a top 5 guy like we've routinely been in position to get, but the draft will likely be just as interesting as always but at least it didn't become our primary focus starting in October.
Yes. Why? Because we have a team that can beat anyone and lose to anyone. We don't have that team that shows up and wins against inferior opponents. Blaine Gabbert and Mccown carved the D up. The record can range from 6-10 to 14-2. Very unpredictable.
It's important to remember that it's January....
Most people penciled in Seattle, Pitt, Houston week 1 and Ravens as losses last year. They also most likely penciled in SF, 1 Titans game and the Jets as wins. No one has any clue what these teams will look like next year.
