So you're saying Carolina was the better team last year?

We could have put the division to bed by winning @ Carolina. We promptly beat them 2 weeks before at home, then couldn't deliver away. You tell me that want had nothing to do with it? Are you kidding me? Yes we lost very winnable games on the road, but to say motivation does not have something to do with it is being blind in my opinion. People act like we did not play with the same guys at home or something.

You are contradicting yourself. Are you saying that they "wanted" it more at home than on the road? They got beat because they couldn't close out some games. New England, Carolina, NY Jets....3 winnable games from the road. Take out the Seattle game (reg season), they got blasted. The playoff game in Seattle was different. Couldn't finish off drives. Seattle's D was nasty last year. They were just better.

Strawman.

It was Armsteads first game. He had a rough first half. Vaccaro went out with an injury early in the game. Jenkins and Harper were exposed in coverage late in the game. Weather was also a factor.

I believe we were the better team last year, especially after our o-line settled. That's not always going to be reflected in the final records, because every team is playing a different schedule.
