4-12-1. Head coach Frank Reich fired mid-season, Jeff Saturday taking over and doing the worst job any interim head coach has ever done, injuries, regression, organizational drama. This was most likely the absolute worst case scenario one could have envisioned before the season started.

My expectations for this season were really high, even though there certainly were some cracks in the foundation. The main one, and the undoing of the season and this team was a rather simple one: no backup plan at right guard. Chris Ballard took a big gamble with former tight end in college turned center Danny Pinter penciled in at right guard, with the only backup plan being former 7th round pick Will Fries.
