Ummm....its an entirely different team than that one. While they still get the League's easiest schedule, they dont have all the stars aligning for them like they did that time. And that was years ago, the players who are still left are older and whatever lightning they caught has long been let out of the bottle.
It kind of reminds me of the Edmonton Oilers post 2006. Re-signing all of the old heroes and warhorses and then wondering why the magic all of a sudden stubbornly refused to repeat itself.

It is like living a lie but because the motherboard is infected everything and everyone else is deprived of perception. The oilers koolaid is quite different from the stuff that Johnny, Mony and Elias are drinking!
