Belichick- 4 SB Rings
Coughlin- 2 SB Rings
Lewis- 0 Playoff Wins

Im confused, why are certain guys flaming the OP because he doubts Lewis will actually get this team prepared for a victory this year, especially in light of playing a team that has beat him 18-7 since he became head coach for Cincy?

Yeah, I'm not very optimistic we can get a playoff win either.  On one hand there are definitely some reasons to be optimistic, but on the other, there are just as many if not more to be pessimistic for us pessimistic types. 

Earlier in the season I thought we could go to and win the Super Bowl based on how were playing and coaching.  Now I'm not so confident, but maybe if we can get that mojo back and actually do something this year.  For me, the player talent is there, I'm still just not sold on the coaching talent.  They certainly have their moments where they look like they can do it, but then they have moments where they look like they don't know what they are doing.

I guess we'll see next week.

He's saying what a lot of us are thinking, but why spoil the day?  We're 12-4!  I'll be pissed about having to play (and probably lose to) the steelers tomorrow.  For now, i'm enjoying the ride.

Why enjoy the ride,  when you know the car is about to crash

Apples to oranges.

This franchise has done it to us 4 years in a row. What makes you think it isn't going to be 5?

Since I started watching football. Old enough to have Been through the 90s but young enough to not remember the superbowl runs.

Sick of being so close, but being held back, not by talent, but by coaching
