From Mark in Annandale, Mark writes, Kevin, my big takeaway from watching Seattle Sunday night

is I can't believe that I actually took the bait and thought that our team was close to being a Super Bowl team last year.

Our defense will keep us from being a contender for at least two more free agency slash draft cycles,

and that assumes they got it right with the new

defensive coordinator Durante Jones this from H writes sheen Seattle Rams

Bears Bears Lions Eagles 49ers Packers Did I miss any? Question mark. We are so far away.

You know, I think when the Super Bowl is over, especially if it's an NFC team winning it,

you kind of have a takeaway as it relates to your team.

I know a big conversation going into the game was really more about Drake May, Jaden

Daniels, you know, we got it wrong, they got it right, whatever.

I mean, we had that conversation last week, and I think that's been a conversation for two plus months, you know, ever since Drake May kind of entered into the conversation for MVP.

By the way, as a side note, if I didn't say this yesterday, thank God Matt Stafford won the MVP.

Because I understand it's a regular season award, of course. But how silly would

it look if Drake May had won the MVP and then had gone out and had legitimately one of the

worst post seasons a quarterbacks ever had in NFL history. It was so obvious watching in the

postseason that New England had feasted on a very easy schedule. And once they faced much

more difficult teams, especially defensive teams, they weren't the team and he wasn't the player

he was in the regular season. Let me just

say real quickly, I still think he's a good player. I think he's going to get better. I'm impressed.

I think the guy's got a big time future. I'm not going to make a sweeping, you know,

one postseason judgment that he's done. That he's, that, oh, that was completely fake and fraudulent during the regular season.

I don't think it was.
