Just getting it out there now that this season has gone down the drain!!!What are your expectations next year?The bar was set high with this 14-2 season.You will get Leigh Bodden, Ty Warren back.You might add pieces to the DL and the OL through the draft.
For me its AFC championship game or bust!!!!!!

For me, it's a Super Bowl title. Same as every year.

There are two ways to look at this. One way is that expectations should be lower considering what just happened. The other is that this was a rebuilding year and we went 14-2 so expectations should naturally be higher. It all depends on what this team does in the offseason. I hope to see a well prepared team with an Identity and some heart. No getting beat down on your own field wildcard weekend or the divisional round.

What can they do in the off-season?I doubt they will go after FAs.The OL is a big question mark.

9-7 missing the playoffs, realistically they probably go 12-4 and make it but even if they are 16-0 I expect a first round exit again. What else can you expect? Two top 10 scoring teams with 2 top 10 MVP seasons down the drain to Wild Card teams, it is a joke and this style of play doesn't win anything in January/February.

Now I know why everyone was saying the team was average and would barely win 10 games, not better than the Jets etc. They were not blind and probably have a good night sleeping Sunday unlike people like me who actually thought we had a contender.

High expectations. But I'll wait and see what comes from the draft and FA (assuming there is FA) before deciding how high they're going to be.

I wish the draft was tomorrow, not 3 months away.

My expectations are the same as every year...try and make the playoffs...even as a #6 seed

We all see that the distance between the 1st and 6th seed has been narrowed greatly the past couple of years and other than a week off and the overated HFA it does not matter.

As long as you bring your best effort to the opponents stadium it does not matter if you have rested or not...if you are hot you will win or at least be very close,the fans yelling means nothing when its do or die.

The days of HFA being a dominant thing are over and done with.

Just be good enough to get the #6 seed is all any fan with proper perspective should wish for and if its more great....if not,just be glad you are in the tournament.
