duey Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 I don't know how anyone could vote for the Bills...tons of progress made and such a better situation compared to last year at this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Miami for sure. Down here in South Florida, they were crowning them as Super Bowl champions in August. I love they way they went down the drain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Which team do you think had the most disappointing season? I voted for the Steelers. I mean they were the defending Super Bowl champs and failed to make the playoffs. Though IMHO they could had made the playoffs had their coach been smart enough to go with Charlie Batch a little longer while Roethlisberger healed up.

/dev/null Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 1. Steelers: Defending champs struggled to get to 8-8 2. Broncos: Thought they had a shot at the playoffs Hard to be disappointed in any of those teams that made the playoffs Had low expectations for Cincy and Miami to begin with The Bills did better than I thought they would at the beginning of the season. Would have been nice to make the playoffs, but still can't say i'm disappointed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spiderweb Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Buffalo, but that's because all the others included in the poll I either dislike or couldn't give a crap about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Pittsburgh, no question. Winning the Super Bowl and then not making the playoffs, a missed Shayne Graham FG from a losing season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

generaLee83 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Miami for sure. Down here in South Florida, they were crowning them as Super Bowl champions in August. I love they way they went down the drain. It blows my mind that every single year the Dolphins are a favorite to either go deep in the playoffs or win the super bowl. Next year is probably going to be worse, their defense is quite aged and probably a bit upset that their offense was so abysmal this year. Hey at least Fins and Bills fans have something in common, they both have been Mularkized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
generaLee83 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Pittsburgh, no question. Winning the Super Bowl and then not making the playoffs, a missed Shayne Graham FG from a losing season. definitely a dissapointment for the team, isn't there some stat somewhere on teams failing to make the playoffs after a super bowl victory? I'd be curious to see what it was. Of course Pitt also lost the Bus and a versatile WR, can't think of his name right now though, too tired. This season proved to me that a QB is often defined by the team/talent level around him (there are fringe cases though that defy this, Grossman for example or Dilfer of the 2000 Ravens) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 90 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Unfortunately Buffalo. Missed opportunities, both early and late in the season. Now they start over again with ten more changes. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeLuca1967 Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Which team do you think had the most disappointing season? Cincy by far. You expect a Suber Bowl hangover for the Steelers. Cincy has a ton of talent. They just find ways to lose. Like they did against Buffalo last year. If Marvin Lewis decided to start acting like a coach and put his foot down? Maybe his players would stay off the police blotter and make the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albany,n.y. Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Cincy by far. You expect a Suber Bowl hangover for the Steelers. Cincy has a ton of talent. They just find ways to lose. Like they did against Buffalo last year. If Marvin Lewis decided to start acting like a coach and put his foot down? Maybe his players would stay off the police blotter and make the playoffs. I wouldn't put this on Marvin Lewis. He can't put his foot down when his bosses have & will continue to promote the drafting of talented "bargains". For many years before he got there and the philosophy remains today, the Bengals do not use the character issue when they are scouting & drafting players. Typical of this was the 2005 draft "theft" of 1st round talent Odell Thurman in the 2nd round. They got a good rookie year out of him before he totally self destructed. He was a walking time bomb that the smarter teams avoided. Year after year, teams like the Bengals & Dolphins get "steals" talentwise on draft day because they concentrate on the on field talent & eschew the off field evaluation. So on the Monday after the draft, the talking & writing heads give these teams high draft marks, not realizing that this year's steal is next year's inmate or drug suspendee. Then you get enough of these characters together and the team is called a disappointment when they don't respond well to adversity. Some of those losses come from missing the player who is suspended for that crucial game. Marv has it totally right that ability without character does not win.
