Using "The Move" as an excuse for a 4-12 season seems to fall somewhere near the "dog ate my homework" category.

C'mon...
.

We just plain disagree about that.

Or, in the informal poll model of discussion, we vote differently.

Three things, zn.

First of all, my post wasn't addressed solely at you, although you are probably the poster that mentions the move as an excuse the most frequently.

Second, if the move was the biggest reason for the poor season, how to explain the 3-1 start to the season followed by the 1-11 finish? Sounds like coaching incompetence resulting in the team quitting on Fisher late to me. And they weren't just losing, they were getting destroyed in that late stretch. Reminds me of that scene from Jaws where Dreyfus says, "This was no boating accident". I'm saying that this 4-12 was no "moving" phenomenon.

Third, can you imagine a HC like Bellichick using a move as an excuse for a poor season? Or a Reid, Carroll, Arians? Me neither.
