2004 Regular Season
Sadly, Game 2 versus the Cowboys was more reflective of our season than Game 1 was. In hindsight, we should have called it a season after week 1. After that, we took a lot more lumps than we gave out in 2004.

Final 2004 Power Rating: 23
So, we did improve in some areas in 2004, including a running back by committee attack that finished 8th in total rushing. We also finished a respectable 17th in sacks, bolstered by Jackie Tuten's 7.5 sacks and Eddie Butterfield's 7.0 sacks. But all-in-all, we've still got a lonnnnnnnnnnnnng way to go to get to the top, especially on defense and in the QB position. We look to address some of these issues as we head into the offseason.
