Top-to-bottom, we have consistently put together good-to-great squads for quite some time now. That's better than most teams can say and IMO no small feat.But at the same time I do also agree with the notion that we have often been lacking for "X-factor" or "Difference Maker" players in the biggest matchups. Once you get into the postseason, you're running into teams who also have a very good 53-man roster. Maybe not with the same consistency that we do, but a good roster all the same (and in a one-off game...nobody cares about "consistency" on that day, you know?). And when you've got two similarly-strong 53-man rosters coming up against each other...more often than not it seems to come down to who's got more elite difference-making players. It feels like many times that's often where we've come up short. Like I said, we have consistently put together good-to-great rosters. In terms of long-term stability/consistency, esp. as it relates to roster construction, cap management, etc. there are few who do it better. And hitting on early draft picks is not necessarily the only way to add those difference-making players, to be fair. But I do understand that criticism too. When all the chips are down, a lot of times it feels like we are left without those one or two players to take over the game for us.</blockquote>
