I'm getting weird flashbacks from this weeks events and just hoping this turns out similarly. We lost to the 16-0 Patriots in the divisional that year. Not saying we are gonna make the playoffs but I think this team may outperform many peoples expectations.

2007 was one of the best years of NFL football I've witnessed.  Winning up in Pittsburgh (twice in a 4-week span) was memorable.  I really thought we had a shot at the whole deal that year.

But this year feels more like 2011 than 2007 to me.  In 2011, Gene Smith cut David Garrard immediately after a team luncheon where he was introduced as the starting QB, replaced him with Luke McCown for 2 starts, then the Blaine Gabbert Experiment began.  Along with 10 years of misery (minus 2017).  The good news is we can't move down the ranks much lower than we already are.  Can we?
