Can someone tell me what was so impressive about 05? Let's face it. Some of those 10 wins were not very impressive. I know some of you are going to rip me but I don't care. Beating Ariz does not impress me. Beating a bunch of bad teams without their starting qb's down the stretch is not impressive to me. Losing to Norv Turner at home is ridicules. Beating Kyle Orton does not impress me. You saw the difference when Marc Bulger started this past year vs. 05 when STL had some 3rd stringer named Fitzpatirck starting. Bulger killed our defense. Simply put we all saw the difference when we played tougher teams. I'm glad we made the playoffs and I was cheering my ass off but let's keep it real.

So going 5-1 in the NFC east is not impressive to you, the only loss coming to the Giants, at giant stadium, after the death of an iconic figure in wellington mara. Going 10-2 in the NFC all together, which actually should have been 11-1 if you count the robbery in Tampa, is not impressive. Going to Tampa and beating them on there home field in the playoffs is not that impressive to you. Doing all this with a 35 year old QB, A second reciever named David Patten, a starting Defense that had guys like Lemar Marshall,Ryan Clark,Walt Harris,Joe Salavea,Demetric Evans and Phillip Daniels, all guys considered expandable every where else isnt impressive to you. If you dont understand how good the 05' team actually was, then you dont really understand football.
The five game winning streak was pretty amazing, they had to beat Arizona and St.louis on the road, even though they were not great teams, they still were not home games, and then they had to beat the Giants, the Cowboys and the Eagles to make the playoffs and they did.
Thats pretty damn good if you ask me.
