I get it for say Bengals fans, who went from one of the worst franchises ever to being in AFCCG/SBs, or Bills fans who spent 20 years looking up at Brady..... you go from 5-win seasons to the playoffs and you think the hard part is over and all playoff teams are basically the same.
Hell, we did it as Chiefs fans for decades.... "just get into the playoffs and anything can happen!"... and then demanding respect because they finally won a WC game.
I'd think a franchise who's had the full range of great regular season/one and done, Super Bowl victories, etc; wouldn't so loudly count their eggs before they're hatched.  |
The Chiefs have had incredible postseason success for the past few years. No one can take that from you.
But the regular season does matter in the NFL. It's not baseball or basketball. Teams are full go for at least 16 games. And the results matter in terms of how far you advance in the playoffs. I don't think it should be waved away so casually. Now if it's never paired with postseason success then fair play. But that book is yet unwritten if that's the intention with this Ravens team.
