How can a team this good miss the playoffs?

Parity in the NFL is defined by mediocrity. Come on, Dallas sucked rocks last year because for the most part they failed on the little things. Just look at the NFL. We could freaking be a 13 win team next year again and it would still not be out of reality. The product of the game is now about not making mistakes in the red tape of rules and the bouncing ball... the fine line between being physical and letting the other team screw up first is what wins today in the NFL

The Cowboys sucked rocks last season because they lost their QB and not due to a few plays. Had Romo not been hurt they win that division going away.

As for the Cards, it wasn't just 1 thing. It was a combination of things.

High expectations is what caused us to fail. It started with week one and you can blame Cat man for missing the kick but it's been the whole scenioro of the season.

It's the easy, fundamental things + a few injuries that killed this team this year. Still, we should be there. Mental, mental, mental... and that includes ST. Maybe, most of all, ST.

Also, get a #2 CB, dammit.

I'm all for a #2 CB.

I should have added the loss of Rashad Johnson. The secondary never seemed fully coordinated after he left.

Carson Palmer had too many bad games.

Again, that goes to Keim/Arians thinking too much of themselves.

This is very true. It feel like I underestimated his importance to the team. But maybe it's Mathieu being out too.

The 3 or 4 games that special teams cost us is the difference between moving on and going home.

Even so, he put this team in a position to win several times this season, 2 at least(NE, SEA).

Analyzing this season is so easy. Special teams cost us the playoffs and the division, period.
