Sure the 2013 team was better than the 2005 team, but the 2005 were no slouches. Possibly the greatest OL ever assembled, a fringe HOF caliber HB, and a very good QB. There was no excuse for the 05 team not to win it all.
Jerome's homecoming in Deeeeeeetroit and Mike Levy are rather solid reasons why the 05 team did not win it all. We beat them statistically but no coach alive can compensate for the deficiencies we had in the secondary for that game. I mean, didn't we literally have an insurance agent playing DB?
I agree with he poster who said they never worried about Mike being out-coached on game day. Too conservative at times ?
I guess, but I didn't have many "AYFKM with that decision?" moments with Mike. I have more than a few times with Pete. Pete overall built a better program, I'm forever grateful. X's and O's, I'm taking Holmgren.
Negative. The year we had the insurance salesman (Pete Hunter was his name) was the 2006 playoffs. We were pretty healthy the entire 2005 season. Ken Hamlin was really the only huge loss on the season if memory serves me correct.
And yes. Holmgren was incredibly conservative. It got pretty infuriating at times.
