Biggest Disappointments of 2011 NFL Season

[jgome21]

I'm sure this list can go on and on, but for one, I remember when the Pats acquired Ochocinco and Haynesworth and many thought they would make immediate impact, and what do you kno? Neither of them had a huge impact on the Pats' Super Bowl run.

Also,

You can always bring up the Dallas Cowboys implosion...which seems to reoccur every season.....

What was yours?

The Colts

Went from division winners to lottery winners.

What happened!!!!???

[JoeTait75]

Has to be the Eagles, doesn't it? I think everyone kind of figured the Colts were in for a rough season w/o Peyton.

[jgome21]

Yeah, the Eagles are the biggest headline when it comes to disappointments. they shoulda at least made the wild card with that roster. Tampa Bay as well. I felt like the team and Josh Freeman took some huge steps backwards.

Darren McFadden getting hurt AGAIN...

[Blake]

Tim Tebow winning games was a major letdown

[Spurminator]

Dez Bryant.

[Flintstones32]

With all the talk about the Lions Def before the season started I figured we would be at least average. They were a huge disappointment this year on Def.

[vander]

Chargers and Cowboys


again

[Goran Dragic]

Everyone is saying the Cowboys and I'm not sure why. They improved this year in spite of several new O-line starters and a secondary.

Eagles were easily the biggest disappointment as JoeTait says. Before the season we constantly heard people calling them the Miami Eagles and .

[Bill_Brasky]

Clearly the Eagles.

With the Cowboys, everybody expected them to be ty and they had a strong first half of the season, followed by a collapse. So pretty typical.

Of course, the Giants had the same thing happen but won the games when they absolutely needed to.

I knew Hillis was going to be a bust. He wore down towards the end of last year and the way he runs( trying to bull through people) he gets beat up, also plays for a crappy team and was going too high in fantasy drafts last year, there were just better options to where he was getting drafted.

[Spursfan092120]

Meh...wasn't the Cowboys...didn't really expect them to do much, tbh.

[DeadlyDynasty]

The Cowboys may have not been expected to do much, but the fact of the matter is they lucked out with the rest of their division being ty-to-mediocre--and at one point they were 7-4 with a chance to kick the GW-field goal in Arizona and go up 2 games with 4 left.

They were disappointing.

People just make a big deal out of them because they're the Cowboys, IMO.

Put that roster in a different uniform and them going 8-8 wouldn't be a big thing, no matter how they got there, IMO.

[DAF86]

Eagles, highlighted by the fact that they seem to have transformed into the team everyone expected them to be once they were out of contention.

I hear what you're saying but my point is that you can start with no expectations, but surprise people early on and still disappoint. The Bills started 5-2, beating New England in the process and their only 2 losses were on last second fg's on the road. They then lost 7 in a row and were extremely disappointing this year.

The Cowboys were leading in the 4th quarter of 5 of their losses, and blew each game in inexplicable fashion. They were disappointing.

[Goran Dragic]

I also don't find the Chargers as a "disappointing" team at all either. They were just as ty last year, the fact that people think they're good for no logical reason doesn't make them a disappointment.

It has to be the Eagles, IMO. With the way Vick played last season, and then picking up a lot of key FA's, they had some of the highest expectations, and they failed miserably.

I also think with Green Bay not even making it to the NFC championship game was a huge disappointment. People had crowned them the NFC champions after Philly faltered.
