I think each of our rosters has had dramatic holes somewhere in the lineup.
But, we did win 10-11 games and sheer probability dictates out of 7 tries that we'd win 1 or 2 at minimum.
That's the thing. We're not talking about winning a Super Bowl here. Teams with holes still win playoff games every year.
Out of 7 tries, we've always (or mostly) had 1 glaring hole that kept us from winning a playoff game, but didn't stop us from winning 10+ games?
I would buy the holes theory more if the entire team didn't look like ass, and it was just the LB's. Or just the QB.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
