When the team goes from 10-6 to 4-12, at least you can talk about what went wrong and what changes are going to be made. You also have better draft picks. But with nearly identical results, players and coaches over the last 4 years, there really isn't anything left to discuss that hasn't been beaten to death over the last 2-3 years.
Long story short, there's nothing left to talk about.
Yeah, you captured it better than I did. Maybe it really is a sense of apathy bordering on a sad sense of resignation to losing in the playoffs. It's hard to sustain the enthusiasm and joyful anticipation of another season after four straight one-and-dones. We've got a successful (winning) team, but they need to find a way to become a great team.
Today I'm TEAM SEWELL. Tomorrow TEAM PITTS. Maybe TEAM CHASE. I can't decide, and glad I don't have to.
