Why couldn’t we keep the momentum going after the 2006 season?

Back then we were loaded on offense - 3 legit WR, stud QB, RB and a phenomenal O-line.  So, what did we do to improve the team and the defense?  Absolutely nothing.  If we had the current front office, we would have spent some money and bought in some help on the pass rush and the d-line.  Those were the most frustrating years of my fandom.  Even worse than the 90s because we had all the pieces in place to win a Super Bowl, but we just sat on our hands,

That's not really true.  They went out and got Dexter Jackson and Sam Adams in FA and spent three of their first four picks on D(Jonathan Joseph, Frostee Rucker, and Domata Peko).  Unfortunately, Adams had nothing left and Jackson was solid but unable to live up to the SB MVP hype.  

Really, it was injuries and off-field distractions(we had 8 different players with legal issues that year) combined with a lack of strong leadership that killed us.
