Basically knew we were only a half-step, or a few bad bounces, away from being a losing team. It hit this season, we end up 7-9 and out. Meh.

Mathews is... just okay. Have to think pretty hard about replacing him. If there's a quality free agent, I will consider it - even without an affinity. Otherwise, I may well just give
Carver a shot next season, he can likely give us similar stats for minsal.
WR Dodge posted 2,000 yards, but they weren't particularly useful. Only 7.7 ypt, so he's just aggregating stats that would otherwise shown up anyhow. Not the same sort of thing we used to get from our true star WR. Running game stinks again, but at least it wasn't a top-dollar group. Rookie Bobby Robbins looks ok in limited duty, he should be the RB1 next year with Schwartz sliding back to the change of pace and receiving back.
Defensively, our pass rush as far less fierce. Maybe we forced fewer must-pass situations for lack of offensive dominance. But Hancock and Osborne each posting only 6 sacks... no, we cannot win that way. Meh overall.
