Hey, when I looked at this team even in October, the playoffs were all I wanted--anything else was pure gravy. In 86, they were a powerhouse and it was expected. In 91, beating the mighty Bills (who knew at the time they were starting a streak of blow-out losses?) and the vaunted "hurry-up" of Kelly, Reed, Thermal etc and the Bruce Smith/Cornelius Bennet led "D" was an unexpected surprise. Next year or not, this was a heck of a run. No dominant RB, like Joe Morris in 86, or OJ Anderson in 91, was a negative. (Heck, I think I can hit a hole faster than Dayne :-) ) Biggest difference was the "smashmouth" offensive lines they had back then and the marginal one they had this year.

Sehorn is a strong safety who is out of his natural position at CB, too--and yesterday, it showed.
