My favorite team was probably that 14-2 team under Schottenheimer. Then of course he gets fired after the year.
I also liked the Brees teams the couple of years before that (pretty much the same team with a different qb). I actually moved there about the time they blew the first Jets playoff game and then lived there the year they may have had their best team, but had such a tough schedule they barely missed the playoffs at 9-7. They even blew out the Patriots that year, but had some crazy bad losses, like a FG to ice the Eagles at the end while up by 6, but instead of making it, or simply just missing it, it gets blocked and returned for a touchdown. Crazy stuff like that happened that year. I think Gates also held out the first two games, and the Chargers FO was stubborn and it likely cost us two close games to start the season against tough teams.
