Is that we really didn't have the QB to give us a real shot. We had everything else but the quality of team required to win it without a QB is insanely high. To the point where it's only super rare units that can pull it off i.e. the Bears or Ravens defenses of yesteryear.
Granted at the time I felt like we had the teams to win it too for the record. But of course just saying with hindsight and all what is interesting is that this year's roster in spite of not being as strong throughout does have enough talent at signal caller. So I do think it is possible for this team to pull it off. Not likely or anything, as we do have some problem areas. But this team is very much in it if they can maintain run/pass balance and our defensive front can play well the rest of the way.
