What one area of our team kept us out of the playoffs?
Besides dropped passes, penalties, injuries and the rest of the usual crapola.
IMHO the one thing would be pass rush. If we had a pass rush we would have made it. A new HC or DV, if he stays, must fix this problem first. |

Lack of a strong pass rush.
Second to that would be the related sin of telegraphing our blitzes.

I still have a sneaking suspicion it was our cheerleaders.

Well, technically, we only needed one more win to have a decent shot at the playoffs going into next week's game.
Pick any terrible game. Philly and Buffalo had terrible stalls on offense due to poor pass protection/bad play calling. Dallas and New York Giants all around shitty defense. Depends on which game you want to blame for our non-playoff appearance. For the sake of following the herd, I'll say lack of pass rush |

That loss falls directly on the shoulders of the offense. |

COACHING.
Beyond all of the tangible things that people have mentioned like blocking or pass rush, this team is plagued by ATTITUDE problems. They lack heart, they lack determination, they lack technique, they get lazy, they're inconsistent. All of those things point to a team that is poorly motivated and feels like they're gonna get paid whether they win or lose. COACHING is what is wrong with this team. |

Yet, they have the ability to put the last game behind them, and not dwell on negatives everyday. I think this is your emotions speaking. |

The offense makes up for it with superior execution. But even the offense operates many times in a fashion that says they don't feel urgency. That's why they call timeouts at the worst possible times and are poor at clock management in general. It's also the reason why you see Trent Green smiling and laughing on the sidelines after his 3rd INT of the game. This team has the ultimate "live to fight another day" mentality. |
