If you want to get technical, we were kind of respected this past offseason. ESPN and the east coast media just wanted to snuggle into our bosoms all day when we signed their boy Scott Pioli.

Yup, the year of the Si cover.

2003 was a good year, kickin a** every sunday

2003 - it was the best of times, it was the worst of times.

It's when we last had a glimmer of hope at a Super Bowl but it's also when the future of the franchise was sold out for that same glimmer of hope and what we have is what you see today.

I personally have faith in the new engineers however.

Answer: we were last respected when DV was our HC. We had one of the best OL and Top 3 O in the league for 5 years. All we had to do was fix our D. A far cry from what we have today. Many did not appreciate what we had and would kneel down today and pray for it back.

Dumbasses!

I knew when DV left but CP didn't go with him that we be in big trouble.

Here we are.

My big hope is Haley/Pioli can make big strides by next season and get us competitive.
I know I am asking a lot and we may have to wait until 2011.

2003 right up until the point Mazlowski went down and Chad Johnson GUARANTEED they would beat us and did.

We havent been the same since.
