People living in the past are doing just that. They are missing out on somethin special.
Not that we did not have a decent past back in the 70's and even better, the 80's. But this might just be much better right frikin now.
I agree with most of this. Living in the past and franchise history are 2 very different things. You are talking like a fan who enjoys watching a team who is capable of winning each week, as am I.
But for many, there is only one winner a year and everyone else is a loser. It doesn't matter to them how many SBs a team has played.
Yes, I'd like to see them win a SB, and, provided there are no major lengthy injuries, this team has a great chance to do this.
But you can't win a SB if you don't make the playoffs.
That's why Anderson and Esaison scratch their heads when they hear all the Dalton bashing.
Anderson made the playoffs 4 years out of 16 and won 2 games.
Esaison made the playoffs 2 years out of 14 and won 3 playoff games.
Dalton will probably make the playoffs for the 5th straight year, already one more than Anderson made in 16 years!
Anderson asked, "Whats the problem with the heat Dalton is getting? Hes already made the playoffs 4 times in 4 years, the same number of times that took me 16 years to do! Each time you 'make' the playoffs, you have a 'chance' to win the SB. Today, only 12 teams a year get that chance, 20 teams a year have zero chance."
