So did the the fans.
They came close the year before - if they could have beaten AZ they would have made the playoffs. They traded with the Pats to get another O-Lineman (which was/is needed), paid big money for a corner (who didn't play poorly, but didn't live up to his contract price) and things looked good. I don't know if Smith regressed, was exposed, or the loss of Norv Turner hurt the team more than was expected.
I'm not sure what to expect with Mad Mike running the offense this year. Mike, you're not on turf in a dome anymore.
