I think it was a combination of things. Some of the better defensive players taht we had were allowed to leave (London Fletcher, Dre Bly, etc) and poor replacements were selected in their wake. Martz was not a great selctor of coaching staff, Lovie Smith aside, and so the team was always going to struggle to repeat success.

I still maintain that the Sperbowl XXXVI loss was down to attrocious officiating from people who clearly didn't know the meaning of pass interference.
