Gannon may be getting old now, but he certainly was in his prime during those seasons, and we were definitely a championship team, but I will tell you why we failed to achieve SB victories in those years.
In 2000 we came up short in the championship game because idiot Saragosa blatantly belly flopped on Gannon damaging his shoulder that resulted in Gannon leaving the game, which in turn caused a loss.
In 2001 we all know about the tuck rule non-sense. Absolutely 100% grade-A bullshit.
In 2002 we went to the Superbowl but lost to possibly one of the greatest defenses of all time, and to top it off, we were playing with our former coach who basically set our team up in those years and knew everything we were going to do. It is not an easy feat to get to the Superbowl in the AFC. It is an incredibly strong conference and anyone who makes it that far is definitely a strong contender.
What Grudung brought to our team was discipline, which is why we were a strong team, but Davis doesn’t believe in discipline, which is why we are miserable now. In order to succeed, these guys need to be disciplined, and until Davis realizes that, we will not move forward. (Our crap draft pick-ups and horrible scouting don’t help either)
The only problems plaguing Gannon are injuries, which is another reflection of age but if he is healthy, you and I both know he is a championship qb.
