Look...it's too early to move on from McDermott...so not suggesting that by any stretch...
But by the same token... Don't just shrug this off and think we will automatically be in the SB next season or the year after .. sports don't work that way..
New Orleans had a pair of devastating losses in the playoffs recently, and now their window is closed again without making it back... I'm sure the Panthers thought they would be back after going 15-1...
yes different teams ... Josh Allen is Jesus etc...but...plenty of good teams in sports take backward steps for a number of reasons...
Just making the point that you cant take getting back to this same position for granted... So it is an opportunity lost..
