Finding a way to win is the sign of a good team. A team that has just won a flag is never "not that good." Whether you perceive them as blue chip or blue collar is not relevant.
If they have as many plonkers, plodders and b-graders as some suggest, then their recent flag entitles them to more respect, not less.
When a team with too much talent wins a flag, that gets poo-pooed because well, of course they're going to win with so many A graders - even I could coach team X to a flag with that talent. When a team of plonkers win a flag, then it's because they got lucky, competition was average, GF opponent had an off day etc.
Winning a flag is incredibly hard. Any team that does so is very good. Period.
