Why is that funny? If Jimmy doesn't get hurt, and they don't have those injuries, it's a different season. They should have beat the packers, the titans, and the seahwaks. Should have never lost to the cardinals twice. The team way underperformed. You forget expectations before the season.

Ya, there's always the fans who have the ultra high expectations. But this wasn't a 14-3 team unless everything was gonna be perfect. Injuries are part of the NFL, every team deals with them every single year so you just can't bank on that. And Jimmy injured is a tradition unlike any other.

I had us at 10-7 while taking injuries into consideration.

Yes which means it has Kyle's blessing.

I love how people had gloom and doom prophecies at the ready, everything from Welker wanting to get away from Trey Lance, to Kyle not satisfied with Welker's performance, and then it comes out that Welker wanted to be near family.

Not sure how they underperformed. Initial power rankings had them in the 5-7 range and they finished in the final four. They pretty much performed as expected.

He'll be a wr coach. Reports are going to Miami will get him closer to his family. This is just a matter of Kyle doing the right thing for someone. I don't believe he'd let him go either if he didn't already have a succession plan in mind for who will take his spot.

They ended the season about where I expected. But that regular season was a true definition of underperformance.

Agreed. Kyle is being a great coach by letting him go to be near his family. Nice move by Kyle which will probably help him get more coaches he wants!
