“It's not here, it's here ... but that much is so big,” Lewis said, spreading the finger tips of his index finger and thumb barely apart. “But we've seen the other side. We know what it looks and feels like. A lot of teams go through that. We had the book tour last year.”“We have good enough players and great coaches. We have everything we need to be one of the best teams, if not the best team, in the NFL and that's our goal,” Lewis said, responding to a comparison question of this year's team and last year's team. “There's no reason why we can't. We have to understand that.”
“We underachieved because we didn't make plays when we were in position to make them. There are 25, 26 teams I would imagine that people would say the same thing and we're certainly one of them.”
“You see teams that win the Super Bowl and then the next year they win five games because a lot of people think they had a bigger hand in why the team was successful than they had,” Lewis said. “We had the book tour last year. It all hurts you. It's all people talked about was going to the Super Bowl. They didn't talk about winning the division, beating Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cleveland. Everybody was going to Miami. Hell, we've got to beat those people.”
“Our best players have to play well at the end of the year,” Lewis said. “If you want to be looked upon as one of the great players in the National Football League, it's what you do to finish the season is what people remember you by. It's another lesson. You don't want to let history repeat itself.”
