A few examples come to mind of teams who did something significant but had the potential to do much more then what they were able to accomplish.
1. Mid 80's Chicago Bears- The 85 team is viewed as one of the best teams of all time, if i'm not mistaken they had the 1 seed in the NFC the next 3seasons yet they only won one playoff game those next 3 seasons. I know injuries played a role and Buddy Ryan leaving probably hurt them but those teams wereso talented they should have made at least one more deep run
2. Mid 80's New York Mets- Most likely the drug issues were the main cause for them not winning another world series but I know they made a few tradesafter winning it all in 1986. Same thing as the Bears though, they had so much talent on that team and they were so deep how they only made it to the playoffsone more time after that gets to me. They had the talent and the players to win at least another world series yet some of them snorted it away.
3. The 3 peat Laker teams from earlier this decade. Had egos been put aside and they focused on dominating the league like they were capable of doing theywould have won 1 or 2 more championships before the team got old with the group of players they had, and at the very least would have beat Detroit in 2004 ifegos were pushed to the side.
4. Dallas Cowboys of the 1990's. Kinda similar situation with the egos. Had Jimmy Johnson and Jerry Jones been able to get along they possibly 3 peat(thank god that didnt't happen) and they would probably stay relevant for longer then they did considering most of that team couldn't stand BarrySwitzer.
5. Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks of this decade. How neither of those teams won a championship during the main years their window of oppurtunity was openbeats the hell out of me.
Post other teams you can think of that should have done more then what they did.
