I think it is mostly the guys that have come after 2011. That 2009 team barely slid into the playoffs and then got destroyed against the Jets. That team never really had the feel of a contender (my opinion) and all of those guys knew what it was like to be on losing teams that did not live up to expectations. Granted they have not had playoff success, but much of the current roster doesn't know what it is like to only win 6-7 games a year and be out of contention by Thanksgiving. They expect to be successful and that attitude carries over into their play.
