It has taken the greatness of Mahomes to realize the difference that having a top 10 QB really is come the playoffs. I remembered a ton of those games being so close in the 90's and if not for payer X or Y we would have won those games.
I see now that was never true. Without a top QB you were never going to win those games. The other team was always going to make the play at the end, get that final score that was the difference, or just outlast you and not make the back breaking mistake. The score may have appeared close but we were never winning those games without a franchise QB.
We'll never see another D like the 85 Bears or 2000 Ravens. The NFL won't allow it. So even that rare collection of talent that comes around once every 10 years won't even happen to upset the great ones. That exception to the rule has been eliminated. The truly great QB's now dominate like T-Rex's and we have the best of the bunch.
