It's a symptom of a team conditioned by its coach to be comfortable with mediocrity.
Well, I'm not sure i think in 'that way' about football teams. I mean that sounds a bit like...oh...an exercise in psychoanalyzing a team. Maybe. Kinda. I mean how would we know what each player was 'comfortable with' ? Still, its a message board and in that spirit, I'll look at it 'that way'.....and my first thot....would be to bring up the "fisher factor" -- that dynamic where so many years he is flirting with a break-through. So many 7 and 8 win seasons in his career. That kind of season might make a player think "we are so close" we just need to listen to coach and stay the course and improve 'just a play or two'. Ya know. And that might very well make sense, and be true.
I dunno.
