There sure was a lot of stuff that contributed to the disaster of last season.
Injuries, Superbowl hangover, QB elbow then Injury, Coaching decisions, McVay problems, Roster Talent
I think there were a bunch of things that happened last season that were just out of control of the organization such as huge amount of injuries, especially the decimation of the offensive line, and the short off season that really hurt the team.
