And what this team is about. The worst of it is, we have had numerous teams since Jimmy that were either championship caliber or very close to it. Yet, for one reason or another, be it poor coaching (Garrett), bad luck, or injuries, those teams haven't been able to breach past the divisional round.
I’d argue most of those teams weren’t championship caliber overall.
Just like last 2 years. We weren’t good enough to get past divisional round. SF was the better team.
And I’d argue GB was prob the better team both losses in 2014 and 2016 definitely had better QB and HC. 2018 Rams had better team.
2007 is perhaps only divisional round where I’d argue we had better team . But then NY proved they were playing better that time of year by going on to beat the Patriots which I don’t believe we would have.
But this is a core issue with our fanbase . Some actually believe we have had championship caliber teams. When we really haven’t. This has helped spur support for our ownership which Jethro was played to the hilt.
I still don’t believe this current team is championship caliber. It’s a good team but not as good as a few other teams which will probably stop them again.
