and every year, we win the division, go to the AFC title game and/or Super Bowl
And every following year that is irrelevant to the question of whether or not the team needs to fix something in the new season. When will you people finally learn the lessons of the past?
What the homers like to ignore (often) is that two things can be true at the same time:
- There can be a problem
- The team can be good enough to overcome that problem, to one degree or another, either by changes during the season or by simply finding a way to overcome.
This isn't about winning 5-7 games. This isn't about making the playoffs. For the BB/TB era, it's about winning the SB. And, to win the SB, you want to do the very best to minimize problems and maximize strengths, and that does not mean sticking your fingers in your ears, closing your eyes, and saying "But last year!".
BB understands that. It's about time that the homers wrapped their brains around that obvious truth.
