Why? Because he said our team was shite? Lol, is that what you were waiting for?

We weren't shite. Obviously. We won 11 games, but we clearly were not as strong as the year before. We had a good defense, running game and special teams. We had all of that the year prior with a pretty dynamic passing game.

I've stated many times I don't think we will win the East this year, but it's certainly not out of the question. I think our defense will be good again. We are particularly good in the back 7. Bunch of NFL talent and deep. Our DL has taken some big hits, but we also have the best DL coach in the nation so I think we'll be fine there. Experienced OL and a really underrated back in Hansbrough. My biggest concerns would be an inconsistent QB with all new WR, and losing Murphy is a bigger blow than anyone thinks. He was a very dynamic player on offense and ST.

The passing game could very well struggle again, and if we don't get production out of our DL then that could minimize the effect of our teams biggest strength.

No, but I am still waiting for a closure to our ongoing discussion about the impact of wins on a teams rankings.

This is a breath of fresh air as well. Those final 8 words perfectly explain what happened to our offense in 2013. It went from elite to average without our playmakers, which were our strength. It's reasonable to say that miZZOU was very fortunate to face that much lesser team, isn't it?
