How about this for an answer to the playoff issue and the regular season beat down that seems to happen every year since the 04 season. Perhaps we run some defensive schemes that are known to work against X and have for years come playoff time( why we do not during the regular season game I will never understand). Given the wealth of defensive knowledge still within the walls of Trinity and some on the outside I would bet on it. Perhaps the fact that X has all of it's offense in place by the 5th game, gives them an advantage during the regular season game but is a bit pradictable come playoff time, while conversely Trinity has just too much offense in place with both an outstanding passing attack complemented by an always better than average run game come playoff time. Perhaps it is some of all of the above.
