Is this a championship team?

They are a potential championship team - along with 5 or 6 others.

Sometimes I think the expectation on this player group can take its toll.

Is there another team in the NFL that considers every year without a SB win is a failed year?

Pittsburgh and Green Bay might.
Manning's Colts did and after this year, the Broncos may feel the same way.

I'm not afraid of any team with an offense. I am worried about any team that can rush the passer with just four players and still blanket the receivers.

Bingo - you have bingo here.

That is the way to beat Brady and usually any team, apply pressure, get a bunch of knockdowns/hurries and sacks etc and do it with just four guys.

That is how teams like Giants get to us and is how teams have success against us, it is even what caused us trouble last week.

While it sure is a concern looking for our "D" to make a damn stop to put a game away, I am actually feeling good about the way our "D" is progressing going into the playoffs. Just give us a break with Dennard & Talib and we'll be fine.

All Brady needs is a little time, keep him clean and we cannot be beat.

It really is as simple as that this year.

Look at the teams that have won it over the past decade.

Lots of eventual champions entered week 17 looking far less like a championship team than we do right now.

Of course we're good enough to win it. We need health, some breaks, and for the guys to just go out and do their jobs
