Seriously-let's give them credit where it's due-remember the "Greatest Show on Turf"? The "Sensational Eagles"? Or Carolina "The Biggest Football Heart" Panthers"? Or how about Pittsburgh "Only team to succeed with a rookie QB" Steelers? After they played them in the BIG game, they all but set the blueprint exposing them, here's how...
Rams-NOONE could stop Mike Martz's juggurnaut O-but what did the Pats do? They played nickel 90% of the time, rarely blitzing-while jamming the heck out of those woos receivers. Since then, Martz has shown to be nothing more than a 1 trick pony, and Kurt Warner went from being the King of the World Future HOFer to nothing more than a serviceable backup. Good-I was sick and tired of the national sports media making a celebrity out of Mrs. Warner.
Panthers-they EXPOSED their porous secondary in that SB-the Cats were able to cover it up with a stout front 4(which is why they rarely blitz), but since then, their opponents have found many ways to elude their front 4 and gnash their poor sec. BTW-if this team has alot of "heart", what's with all this in-house fighting?
Eagles-Jim Johnson's schemes were always a headache for opponents b/c of his exotic blitzes, but in that Super Bowl, they showed how his D OVER-PURSUED alot. Since then, alot of teams, including our Bledsoe lead O in '05, had alot of success running plays like screens against them. And not to mention too McNabb was Finally Exposed in that game(i.e. just keep him in the pocket and not let him roll out)-he hasn't enjoyed the success since.
Steelers-Quite simply, Big Ben hasn't exactly looked like an HOFer since that '04 AFC Title game-they exposed his inabilities to read D's at times.
