In answer: they play much more consistently game to game each year after year. That's what I'm talking about. I'm not denigrating our team here, mind you. I'm just answering the thing said about it being a problem with today's NFL. If they can do it in the same league (NFL) then their success needs to be studied and emulated (not their schemes but their ability to overcome the natural turn over of players due to salary caps etc). These blogs tend to make replies disjointed. And by the way, and as I said above, I'm not denigrating our team. In fact I see more plus than minus. It just seems there is some intangible thing missing that keeps us from getting closer each game and each year. My point is if we could find out what that is it might help.
