It's super hard to get to the super bowl and it not only requires talent, but it requires luck and health.
Look at Tom Brady. He has 5 super bowl rings, and there are probably less than 10 plays, that had they gone the other way in the super bowl, Brady would have zero. He's been incredible and I don't want to take anything away from him, but luck has played a huge role in every ring he has.
I agree, there's a bunch of moves we can make. We likely can't sit on our hands in free agency at this point. But to act like the last 15 years have been a failure because we only have 1 ring to show is pretty lame. There's teams with hall of fame qbs that don't get rings at all. We got two and they each got us a ring. I wouldn't say I'm satisfied but it shouldn't be disappointing. Getting two rings is hard, and often times the guys who get 2 rings had a heck of a lot of luck or help getting at least one of the two.
