Some people fail to understand sports and more specifically the NFL.  This isn't a college league or even a high school league.  There really isn't much difference between the best team and the worst team in any given season.  Teams that consistently have "winning seasons" are in a different situation.  People might be quick to point to New England, but look at their division.  Divisional games account for half (give or take) of the season.  The AFC East does not have any "powerhouse" teams to challenge the Patriots.  We went through many seasons like that when the Colts were actually a really good team (Pay-me-a-ton Manning years).

Yes there are a few teams that are "perennial winners", but you also have to look at their division.

In the end I would like to see our team in the playoffs every year, but if they don't make it I'm certainly not going to pout and cry about it.  Even when they are in a "losing season" they accomplish what I want them to do.  Entertain me and give me something to do.

If they win they win and if they lose they lose.  That's life.
