Not to go to bat for Jeremy Hill, but the highlight of three decades of Mike Brown football is 7 one-and-dones. I'm starting to think there may have never been real swagger here to begin with. We either have a losing season or we have a winning season and crumple as soon as we hit the post-season.
Seriously, in the Mike Brown era all 7 times we managed to have a winning season we made the playoffs. Not a single winning season where we got to sit and complain that we came so close to causing some damage in the playoffs "if only we got in" not a single 1st round bye to get us into the 2nd round. Any time we win 9+ games we got to be a speed bump for a real playoff team.
Swagger my arse.
