[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 494939, member: 7277"] I get so tired of hearing about how a team is just doing enough to get to the playoffs but not enough to win it all. Like signing certain free agents is going to be the difference between winning and losing those playoff games. There are no magic beans that will keep you from losing in the playoffs. Most of the time, it's not even the best team on paper that ends up winning it all, and everything you do all year can be lost in one poorly played game. That's the NFL. People just seem to fall into the old trap of thinking that if we don't surround Rodgers with big named free agents, we're blowing our chances to win him more than 1 ring in his prize, and that's simply not true. Peyton Manning has 1 ring, Marino never got one. It's very hard to do no matter what you do or how your team looks going into the year. Guys like Brady are the rare exception, and they didn't get their rings by their team acquiring a ton of FA's. Those demanding a dynasty -- it isn't the 80's or 90's anymore. The NFL has changed, and it's now parity-driven and designed to have a level playing field. We are at a position in our franchise where we can look forward to making the playoffs every year and therefore get the chance to go all the way. That's all you can ask for. More than ever, winning in the playoffs involves a lot more luck and momentum than it was in the past. [/QUOTE]
