Why can't this team win consistently?

When recently asked why this team cannot win the close games like this he said something to the effect of "Maybe we are not yet good enough to create the separation". Maybe this is more true than we would all like to admit. Make no mistakes, this team is improved BIG TIME. But perhaps this year we have just finally reached a level of play where we can compete with just about anyone, but not quite to the level where we can WIN against just about anyone? Maybe ...just maybe that will be next year with a few more key additions such as some more OL help, some more secondary (safety) help. Maybe another WR or such. Maybe THEN we can get good enough to not only compete but also WIN most of these types of games.
