I know we've had the "just wait til next year!" mentality before. Excitement towards the end of 2012 and 2013, and hope that the following year would be the year we finally break out.
So it's easy to be reluctant this time... But it does feel different, doesn't it?
The D looked real solid in 2012. It looked good again in the 2nd half of 2013. And while those D's were pretty good, it's nothing compared to this current unit.
Something has clicked, and I think our Super Bowl caliber defense has finally formed. I really think think we're entering a 2-3 year period of elite defensive play starting next year. And within that span, I think we'll have one season of true greatness... Like the 2000 Ravens or the 02 Bucs.
I think next year, not even the QB position will keep this defensive team out of the playoffs.
And a sidenote, that's why I think finding a QB at all costs is so important. Could be the difference between merely being a playoff team, and being a SB contender
Can't wait.
