Overall we are a better team than last year, but we are not in the top tier yet of AFC teams like KC and Pittsburg. Our defense why improving isn't good enough this year and we don't have a consistent running game don't seem to have the killer instinct to close out games like we should.

I agree with your assessment and so do some NFL pundits. Did you read the article from the Syracuse Post where Mike Golic from Mike and Mike pretty much says what you and me believe. Now Swartz is leaving which was easy to predict, because of there different defensive phlisophies. So now we have a head coach who has never developed a quarterback and his team regressed the last four years under his watch. As a head coach your responsible for offense as well as defense. Now John Fox is out there and I am not saying he would of came to us, he has already turned down the Jets. He would of been a much better choice as I believe F. Reich, D. Bevell or A. Gase. Hope I am wrong on all of this, but I think two to three years down the road we will again be hiring a new coach and this cycle just keeps repeating. Eric ohio

Two wrongs don't make a right. Whaley shouldn't of traded away our 1st pick for Watkins, and we should of drafted O. Beckham instead and kept our pick. But Watkins is a really good player and will get better. T. Bridgewater is not the answer and in my opinion neither is any other quarterback in he draft or via trade. Were going to have to find somebody in free agency and draft a quarterback in the middle rounds to develop like a Russell Wilson who we could of had but took TJ Graham instead.
