Yes, but the NFL evolves. Players play differently in their contract years. Players get older (See Fletcher, London). Injuries and suspensions occur. Opposing teams get better, then certain losses can really kick a teams demeanor in the gut. Key backups get hurt. Also our offense was the key to this team last year. Teams hadn't played against an offense like ours last year, now they've studied and started to figure out our offense. They've punched us, and we haven't counter punched them back. Its basically a lot of little things adding up to one major problem with us and some of those things, such as demeanor and will, aren't in-season fixes.
