No need to get mad about it because he’s right and it’s not a dumb take just because you disagree. Odds are against them and the guys who do this for a living know that. It doesn’t mean they can’t do it he’s just telling you history is not on their side. I honestly don’t think they are going back to the SB this year but I really hope I am wrong.
We all hope they can be an outlier to this but recent history is the reason their odds are lower. For whatever reasons it’s really hard to go win it after you lose it. That is a fact regardless of the team. They look like they should be a really strong contender but every team needs talent and some luck to win it. Look at the history since 2000 of SB losers…
