I know some of these things have been stated before, but I'm going to go into more detail.

2003:

Dallas:Reg season- they beat us down. Playoffs We returned the favor

Rams: Reg season- didnt play playoffs TIGHT GAME

Eagles: Reg season- Beat us soundly Playoffs: We return the favor

Patriots: Reg season didnt play Playoffs TIGHT GAME

2004 Nothing

2005

Bears: Reg season beat us down Playoffs We returned the favor

Giants: Reg Seaon Beat us down Playoffs We dominated

Seattle: Reg Season:didn't play Playoffs We got dominated

2006:Nothing

2007:Nothing

2008

Cardinals Reg Season: We Win tight Playoffs We got Dominated

Following this trend if you beat us in the reg season your in trouble

if we didnt play you it will be a tight game or we will get blown away

if we beat you your gonna kill us. Its been true to form so far. Weird

Maybe Fox and co arn't good at making adjustments at the half or on the go, but when they've been beaten they've made adjustments in the long run. Saying that maybe when they win they don't see the need to improve or think that maybe just maybe the other team will make adjustments like the Cards gameplanning Fitz agianst our soft zone.

Now I dont post a whole lot so take it easy on me. Least theres not a ton of negativity or nut huggery in this post........ so far.

So if history is any indication, come playoff time we'll beat whoever beat us in the regular season.

Yet by your very argument the same is true of the teams we face. They beat us in the postseason if we beat them in the regular season. It's almost as if having played the team the first time allows the losing team to make the necessary adjustments to win the match the second time.

Of course, Arizona is the only team we've beat and then later faced in the postseason.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
