The same thing was true last year.

They were replacing their QB, both RBs, their entire defensive line, and much of the offensive line. They were going into the season with Brian Hartline (a recruiter who had never been an OC) and Patricia (a bad DC for the reasons you gave) as their coordinators. They looked ripe for a regression. They went 12-0 in the regular season and were not pushed by anyone. I've given up waiting for them to regress. I'll believe it when I see it and not a moment sooner.
