1. We won so many big games in the final seconds. Those games make us look lucky instead of good.
2. Fourteen weeks into the season we were 7-6 and did not look anything like a Super Bowl team. This makes our Super Bowl run look like just a "hot streak" instead of the sustained success of a legitimate powerhouse.
Most of the teams making the Super Bowl are teams who peaked at the right time towards the last part of the schedule and get hot going into the playoffs.
