feels like a nice package there.

Let's take a look at the history of Super Bowl losers.

Eight teams have lost the Super Bowl and returned to the Super Bowl the next season.

Three have lost the Super Bowl and went back and won the Super Bowl the next season.

You should, based on what they did this year, based on the way they built the roster this year and what you expect them to do again. Can you have another successful draft? If you had another successful draft class onto the one that you had last year, which people are debating.

Is it an A class, a B class? It was good. A lot of guys played a lot of important football for this

team last year and should be better next year. If you can add a nice draft class on top of that,

Drake May continues to ascend. You keep some of the important players like Christian Gonzalez here
