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,

oline was good not great.. defense lead league in turnovers so decent, did not get much presser on QBs though.. i agree we probably needed to be more active in  FA we continued too much on draft picks working out, also Palmer regressed after injury which made the team go down quicker.  Very similar to 2015 which was on target to have a solid run in playoffs till Dalton got hurt then bad drafts  years  and lack of FA signings to make a difference ended that run also.
