It's kinda hard to deal with after so many years of it.
Hypothetical what ifs or not, the likely excuses for not winning are simmering at the surface, but have not totally boiled over yet.
Next year everybody is another year older.
All the guys that normally miss games the last few years will continue to miss games for those same reasons.
The defense IS "good enough."
The overall roster will be as healthy as it has been all year within a couple or so weeks.
Dear Team,
Please overcome this culture THIS year or I fear the next few will not offer this same opportunity that is before you THIS year.
So...
Now or Never.
Get r' done.
NO more excuses.
