Defense was like 16th total, middle of the pack. Passing was like 29th in the league. (That's out of 32 teams, btw.) That means we were better than, say, Cleveland jacksonville and St. L or some such shit.

Take the magic storm of a last place schedule, with the fact that our inter-conference matchups were with the NFC West (which was GOD-AWFUL that year - Seattle blitzed everyone and took the division at 7-9) - that was only playoff team we beat that year, btw: more on that later - coupled with the absolute masterful coaching job by the entire coaching staff, made a 10-6 possible.

Hey, kushed god - did you know that the only playoff team we ever beat with Matt cASShoLLLLLe was that victory over 7-9 Seattle in 2010?? The only other times we have ever beat a playoff team...were the two victories with Kyle orton that got RAC's fat ass a job. That is an absolute fact.

THAT is how 2010 was smoke and mirrors.

word of advice, "n00b" to "noob"?? Know your shit up on here; they're gonna pounce on you regardless, and if you can't stand on it or back it up, they will rip you to shreds. Fact is, we're not top 5, but you wish we were - in your mind, we were #1!! And that's how it should be. But temper your fan's optimism with reality. Saying "IMO we were top 5" is like saying "imo water isn't wet and the sky is not yellow, it's chicken" - facts prove otherwise. Check the facts, then form an opinion.

good luck.
