We can't seem to overcome those playoff blues for some reason and until we do, we'll be the 3rd best team in the division. Fair or not, that's the way of perceptions in the NFL. That 0-4 record in the playoffs just doesn't resonate the same as winning a SB. A SB win is so much more difficult than just making the playoffs.

Ben had an amazing run game and defense when he won those Super Bowls. Don't think that it was all him, because the first time he won a Super Bowl his stat line was 123 yards, almost 40% completion, 0 TDs, and 2 INTs.

Flacco didn't start to do well in the playoffs until his 5th year. In his first 5 playoff games he played worse than Dalton, and he still was winning games. That wasn't because of Flacco, but it was his team.
