It is odd how recently there is at least one team that turns it on and gets to the championship game or even the SB via a QB playing above his normal level, and yet it's never us. We never got our one shot even when we were making the playoffs 6 of 7 years.
2019 - Tannehill and the Titans
2018 - Goff and the Rams
2017 - Keenum and the Vikings/Bortles and the Jaguars
2016 - Ryan and the Falcons
2015 - Palmer and the Cardinals/Newton and the Panthers
I guess we coulda been there in 2015, but that just falls into the same category as 2005 for us. So it goes. We just seemed to be so consistent in not being able to make that 1 year run like so many other teams there.
Let's be honest the Dalton-Green era between 2011-2015 would have netted any other franchise at least 2 Championships maybe even 3. Yet This franchise under Brown couldn't even manage a playoff victory. Some of that is bad luck or bad Matchups but it's more to do with a front office not going the extra mile. Could we have signed an elite Edge to pair with Dunlap and Geno, Could we have signed that C to replace Bodine, Could we have traded up for a coverage LB?
That's also not even mentioning that they refused to put significant money into team facilities.
I would say that it's probably more frustrating to be a fan of this team than any other franchise in America because they don't try much less do.
