I wonder if we should consider our situation a baby steps type of get better thing.TB only making the playoffs by default. Brees has retired, NO will not be as good, Panthers and Falcons will struggle some but could be spoilers. Brady is a year older, and a lot of film to dissect on them. I will not count him out though. But I won't go as far as saying repeat at this point.
Not exciting going into this season?. I get excited at the start of any season. Even in 1989, we knew we would not compete for a playoff spot. But didn't think we would be 1-15. I figured 5 or 6 wins at the most if lucky. But I was still excited to see how they would be built, and even more so after the Walker trade. The thing is this year if all healthy, they do have a shot to go deeper into the playoffs, if the defense even improves to average. And they is a good chance at that. Though I want to see it on the field for real. But it is enough to keep me pumped up for the season too start.
I don't have SB aspirations, but each year is different and you never know what will happen. Ask Eli Manning about that.
It's not as if we are in year one or even two of a rebuilding deal.
MM was brought in to take a team ready to win to the next level.
It sounds a bit lame to say last year should be thrown out, but come on. It was the perfect storm of crap.....and that's been addressed.
I think that once Dallas DOES figures it out, they have as good a shot as anyone in the NFC.
I see no one as unbeatable....including Tampa, who had all the breaks go their way in the postseason. The injured tackles on GB and KC made that defense look much better than it is.
