There is a case to make on behalf of Mayo that fans and media predicted a 3-4 win season to start. And we are finishing that way. So they didn’t underachieve or overachieve. They met expectations. Fans love to ***** and especially here we somehow feel that a team with the worst roster ought to have won 7 or 8 games.
You could argue that the team played better than expected and were in a number of games to the last few minutes if not seconds.
For me though it is the lack of accountability, the mouthiness of underachieving players suggests a loose “culture” being set. The regression of the defense is a big one. And the fact that Ben Johnson or Vrabel wants to come here makes it very tempting to ditch Mayo and company.
