Everyone points to the QB as being the big problem... I'm not convinced that they have the right weapons for a consistently productive passing attack. I'm not going to debate it all here though... would be pointless since most think that TT has not shot.

I think they can make it work - question is, can they get the right components in there during the off-season. And, yeah - they were fortunate in a few situations, but it wasn't all magical luck. They did win a crappy division, someone had to and they defeated the Steelers. It is what it is... they took some steps forward.
Well when you need to "make it work" that says that there are many things that need to go thier way for it to work. I think there are just too many pieces needed to "make it work" in a reaonable amount of time in the "win now" NFL with TT. Yeah - they took a step forward and were fortunate to beat Pittsburgh - and I look at it as they caught the Steelers at the right time - just more of the "weird stuff" that went their way. I think it was more of a fluke like the many last second wins all season. Just too many to count on as a stable stepping stone. Easy to defend the offense - Just stay at home on all the fakes and force TT to beat you with his passing. More times than not he can't / won't. Translates to ups and downs with more downs. Again, just my take.
