Man it irks me to hear Bowles talk about how he’s earned more time cause of 3 NFC South titles. It’s that mindset that makes us lose against any actually good team. Beating the fucking saints, falcons and panthers doesn’t mean shit in terms of success. Every time we play a real team we look like dog shit and I can only imagine Bowles in the locker room talking about “that’s a great team so good job”.
Winning the South should be the fucking bar not some grand accomplishment

Also, if we had dominated the NFCS and had one bad year it would be one thing. despite being the clear and obvious best team in the division each year, it always comes down to the end and we barely survive.
Having the best roster in the worst division and needing a final game to determine if we win the NFCS isn’t the success he thinks it is.
To put into perspective how little of an accomplishment winning the NFC South her been during his coaching tenure is, over the last 4 seasons, the division has had 3 teams with winning records. There’s only been 1 team over that 4 year span with 10 wins. The reason that team was so successful was because Liam Coen was the OC. He’s now up to 13 wins with a worse roster in a stronger division now that Bowels isn’t holding him back any more.
Its really the only thing he has left to stand on
Aside from that his team has underperformed. Hes just leveraging what he can. Everyone knows the division is shit.
