Which is why it was unrealistic for NW fans to think we'd be able to stay at that level (with or without AD). We're kind of at the level right now that we were from 1999 to 2006 after the first two championships. Still really good and winning conference titles more years than we don't, making the playoffs (which may not happen this year)... but that first of 5 straight National Championship games team (2005) was only 6-3 in the conference. We had a 4 year stretch from 2013-2016 where we were an absolute buzzsaw... we were spoiled.
The 2022 iteration of NW FB may be the worst team NW has fielded since FB was invented aka Mel arrived on campus. This team is #awful without MikeyHo on the field and even he showed a floor v. UCO. NW generally lacks talent, health and/or experience on the offensive side of the ball and hasn't had an OC, QB, or AA RB to elevate it consistently. NW was very fortunate that they were able to secure the services of elite RBs the past few years to cover that lack of talent elsewhere. BW is completing 47% of his passes with 5.6 ypa, both by far the worst of his career as a Senior. How many MIAA and D2 QBs that see the field have worse comp. % and YPA? Save the injured excuses. The defense does well until giving up far too many big plays that result in points. It's all or nothing. The hope lies in that there may actually be some talent accumulating for the future at WR and this team is stoopid young. 7 Seniors.

I laugh whenever I hear the 04 Lambo thing.
Here is how 04 looked to the rest of the world...Lambo played in the first game, and both offenses sucked in that game. He didn't play in the second, but by that time, The Pitt O was really rolling and scored at will on NW. Lambo never played a down on defense for NW. as far as I know, so claiming the PO game would have been different is silly at best.
Don't even get me started on 05.
05 with Race, Pitt scored a bunch on NW. Without him in the playoffs, NW won by 1 or 2 scores, and if I remember right had a defensive TD in there, but didn'tdo a lot on offense against a mediocre Pitt defense. Don't get me wrong, NW was a more complete/complimentary team that day and the better team won. Pitt was also foolish for having all their offensive eggs in one basket.
