BUT, I could have seen some of these guys getting huge ego's and not putting in the work in upcoming years. So maybe this loss stings them and lights a fire under this team to win 3-4 SB's over the next 10 years as opposed to 1 or 2?
I don't know. Is it weird to say that? I really do feel it.
It absolutely is weird to say that after all we've been through as a fanbase, lol. I believe we can make some noise for a few years here, just gotta keep making the right off-season moves. They completely flipped the entire defense in essentially one year, DJ Reader notwithstanding. Now all that's left is fixing one position group. I don't think a lot of fans realized how old the roster was getting when Zac got here. You couple that with shoddy depth and implementing a completely new and modern system, there were going to be growing pains. If nothing else, I like the direction this staff has taken in building a roster. A team full of mentally tough athletes.
