We easily could have won the Super Bowl this past year. If Dalton doesnt get hurt we have a good shot. Denver blew their load. We almost beat them with a back up QB. They now dont have a QB, that D is losing pieces, and Von miller thinks olivier vernon money aint shit. They have a ring which could have been ours. But they are looking at that super bowl slump big time.
Our model is is sustainable. Its getting us to the big dance. We just have to seal the deal. If we beat the Steelers that momentum gain would have been huge.
We were undefeated over half the year. Easily one of the best teams in the league. I think they found a formula that works. We were seconds away from our first playoff win that i would remember. Im not willing to blow that up.
Are you really trying to argue that the Cincinnati model is better than Denver? They went to two Super Bowls in three years, completely remaking their defense after the first loss, and now have another trophy to add to their case. Meanwhile, the Bengals have not had a single playoff victory in almost three decades,
No one who is on the pro free agency side is arguing to "blow anything up" or to bring in the highest price guy every year. What is being said is that the addition of quality free agents to supplement a team built through the draft can work well. Denver brought in free agents, New England the year before that, Seattle the year prior. It is not a difficult concept to understand.
