They played the NFC East last year and the NFC South this year. Two totally different animals.They were playing a last place schedule last season. Which high powered offenses were they playing last year? They added some big names that had great seasons a few years ago. I didn't think DR had the horses to make his defense work this year. I thought he'd need a year to get his type of players on the roster.
They also played the AFC West last year vs the AFC North this year.
