I was a young'n when Gibbs was tearing up the league in his first stint, but even then I knew what you mean. Through the eyes of an 8 year old, when the '87 Skins came onto the field to face the Broncos in the SB, they just seemed like the biggest kids on the playground. It was just a feeling you got.

Then in 91 when they faced the Bills, I was 12, and I knew a lot more about the game. You could see the confidence from the coaching staff and the attitude from the players.

This team doesn't quite feel like that yet, I think you have to establish yourself consistently as a playoff threat to get that feeling. But you can see the confidence and the effort with this team. I think we're going to do damage.
