    Yeah this is literally the first stretch that we’ve had of being bad in franchise history. Historically we’ve over achieved for a franchise, we just haven’t had sustained success which sucks but most teams haven’t.

    I said this year is different cause most of us actually thought we’d be halfway decent and contending for the nfc south and not only are we underperforming, but it seems like every big move we made was just completely wrong, yet again making the future look bleak as hell.

      Lol I do not understand how you can say this franchise has historically overachieved by any metric given that they’ve had seven winning seasons/eight playoff appearances in 28 years. Maybe you’re too young to remember, but the 97-2002 stretch was pretty bleak and eerily similar to the past six seasons: no answers at QB, overall mediocre rosters, poor drafting, etc. At least in 2002 we landed an amazing rookie in Pep, put out a top 5 defense, and had a nice receiver pairing in Moose and 89.
