Couldn't agree more, and that's what makes this season even more painful.

Personally I think we were one small step from being the #1 team in the NFC. We killed GB in their park, and we stayed with Dallas all game despite our injuries and playing on the road. We beat up the division leading Bucs in TB, and despite a horrible 2nd half, still almost beat the wild card Giants.

Of course when we played a real elite team (Pats) we got killed, but there isn't a single team in the NFC that scares me.

Ahh what coulda been...a playoff berth would definitely soften the blow.
