There is a whole lot of lightweight fluff on both sides.  We haven't had a winning season since 2015 and we are currently 2-14.  Not hard to see why people aren't talking about us like it is 2015 and we just embarrassed ourselves in the playoffs for the 5th straight time. 

And this is the very reason I've never been a banger of the made the playoffs 5 times in a row drum. Because let's face it, in like 17 of those 20 quarters we looked like we had no business being there.

During the bulk of the first 13 years of the ML era we were one of the better mediocre teams in the league. But I'm not going to pound my chest about that. And the fact is we fell flat on our face halfway thru 2015 and haven't yet got back up.
