What Has Surprised You Most About This Season?

[Hunter2_1]

I'm going to go for Wentz, Ram's season and Hunt 

[TheKillerNacho]

Top 3 biggest surprises for me:

1. LA Rams going 11-5 under a rookie head coach
2. Browns going 0-16 (I knew they would suck but didn't think they were anywhere near 0-16 bad)
3. Case Keenum leading the Vikings to a 13-3 season

Season of injuries. I can't recall this many marquee players getting hurt in a single season. Really altered the landscape...

Case Keenum for me. Didn't think he had it in him to lead the Vikings to 13-3.

You forgot one: Hue Jackson retaining his freaking job after going 1-31.

Giants going 3-13

Doesn't surprise me, sadly.

Ton of good options.

I've eaten my crow on Wentz (I did not think he would develop nearly as well as he has).

I similarly didn't have much faith in McVay.

Jacksonville making the playoffs would come third. I didn't think their FA investment in their defense would pay dividends to such as high degree, nor did I think Bortles would actually manage to start all 16 games (figured he'd be benched by mid-season).

I got a lot wrong this year.

Can we get a Jay Cutler hot take? Give the people what they want.

The fact that the Jay Cutler experiment was a failure wasn't much of a surprise in and of itself; however, the degree to which he failed was a bit surprising. Many Dolphins fans on this site were expecting a 1-2 game drop off from Tannehill (pre-season we had mostly been floating predictions in the 9-11 win range) so with Cutler we (or at least many of us) figured 7-9 wins would be in the cards.

Cutler + coke fiasco + no bye week + significant preseason injuries resulted in a disastrious Miami season.

Cutler gave us the best moment of the entire season; sparking up a cigarette with a hand on his hip during a wildcat play.

I mean, if he moved forward "actively" he's subject to being laid out so... making it obvious you're out of the play is the right move when you're already the second option at QB. He's no Ryan "Stones" Tannehill.

Watch it on YouTube. You'll appreciate it.

Jags making the playoffs didnt surprise me. I expected a good defense, but not the good. So that surprised me.

I thought Goff was gonna bust hard and rams would win maybe 4 games. Didnt expect them to be anywhere near that good.

Keenum.

All the injuries.

The giants. I thought theyd go deep into the playoffs
