IMO, the biggest difference is alot of people who thought we were better then we were just because of the 6-2 record are now coming back down to earth. Yes we were 6-2, but could have just as easily been 2-6. The games were close and we had some lucky breaks and weren't turning the ball over. People just had unrealistic expectations for this team. We made no real improvements over last years team that had to go on a serious winning streak to squeak into the playoffs. This year we have no Sean Taylor and we lost Daniels before the season started. Our lines are a year older and slower. There is no significant reason we would be better then last year and are actually worse with the lost players and age. Plus we have another new coach and system. I never understood why people thought we would be a serious contender this year.
