That team was an overachiever. The 13-3 was fool’s gold. We had a ball control offense that limited the defenses exposure. Don’t get me wrong, we were a solid team, but not a SB team.
The only team I have seen since ‘95 that had the “it” factor for a SB run was the 2007 squad. We just ran into a buzzsaw in NYG on a heater that year and if you remember, that playoff game was a prototypical football game man-on-man war from start to finish. Both teams played at a high level for that game on both sides of the ball. Heavyweight fight…
We were very, very good that year and balanced enough to make a run.
