Beat two decent teams in a year. Never said you were a poor team, said you weren't as good as you make out.
I never made us out to be world beaters and always maintained that it'd be at least 2 or 3 years before we are ready to compete. We were just never given any credit for the wins last year because we beat teams with losing records. I could accept that had we have gone 10-6 the year before but we were the exact opposite. We went from 3-13 to 10-6 in 12 months. No matter who you play, that is a damn good turn around. People seem to forget just how bad we were and how much of a turnaround we made.
The only player I big up a load is Josh. In freemans first 3 seasons as a starter he has gone...
2009: 3-6
2010: 10-6
2011: 2-1
He is a winning QB and 8 of the 15 wins have been 4th quarter comebacks. This kid is for real and yes, he has his bad throws, but when the pressure is on he knows what to do. As we continue to build around him we will have a team that will be capable of having a chance. The front 7 already looks like it will be a force over the next few years and we have 3 rookies and 3 2nd year players in there. A bit of work needs to be done on our O line and the secondary needs to be strengthened but this team right now has the
potential to be as good, if not better, than the Bucs of the last 90's/early 2000's.
