Not sure how I feel about all of it, he still tells the same story about Brown truly wanting a winning team here, and spending money to get there.
Also talks about their difference in how they wanted to build a team, stating that Brown wants a team full of "Ferrari's." Just did a quick skim, so if others have anything to say, feel free to chime in.
I will say.. the breakdown of Lewis' losses in the playoffs is kinda crazy. Palmer gets ACL damaged on his first throw, Dalton throws 3 picks, he has a backup QB in 3 playoff games, and Hill's fumble along with Pacman's penalty. Article does put in perspective how Lewis did change the franchise.
Don't forget a playoff loss at Indy playing without AJ, Marvin Jones and Eifert. I hear all these talk show guys saying how bad teams have it with injuries but never heard a word back then about having to play a game without your top 3 receivers with 2 of them top 5 in the league.
