everyone gets up on teams too early. the media said gibbs would be an instant winner, and expected good things from lovie smith 2004 (the skins had almost 25 new players that year). this year it was the vikings and cards that were supposed to improve dramaticly. usually it takes an extra year after massive overhauls of your roster though. so i'd bet the vikes do much better next year (but a new untested coach and a possible change at QB might prevent that), and even though it didn't seem like it, the cards defense is probably going to be a lot better this year too. they were really young and rolle and berry were injured a lot, so the experience gained in 2005 should really help there.

saunders will be better than gibbs as far as playcalling is concerned. offensive playcalling and lack of DL pressure were our biggest weaknesses (also offensive depth at WR and this year at OL too). saunders is a terrible leader and someone i'd never want as the head coach of my team, but his knowledge of Xs an Os is top notch.
