There just seems to be a very deeply rooted problem here that leads to dozens of great players and college heroes suddenly shitting themselves when the bright lights are on. 26 years without a playoff win and constant prime-time struggles that span 15 years.
Maybe it's the lack of a practice facility. Maybe our schemes are too easy to figure out for good coaches. Maybe we don't throw in enough wrinkles. Maybe we get too conservative. Maybe we have weak spots (that we don't address in FA) that get exposed under the intense playoff spotlight. Maybe a combo of everything. I do know that it's been going on for way too long for us to be pinning it on one guy.
That won't stop some from making the red head the face of our playoff failures.
I think it's just the separation of talent showing. We cheap out in FA and we can't always bolster our roster with that one or two guys we need so when we play good teams they can exploit our weaknesses that much easier.
We don't get good coaches. Sometimes, it's just time to move on and we don't do that until we have no choice or good coaches just leave us.
We just aren't competitive enough in building a truly great roster and coaching staff to compete when it comes down to playoffs and your only opponents are great teams.
