The biggest takeaway and important thing MM will do this year imo other than if they win the whole thing (always the main goal) is to have back to back years of 10+ wins and post season appearances. It’s the start of building a franchise that every year you can count on being in the mix.
being in the mix meaning for the division and the conference. Franchises like Baltimore, 49ers, Steelers (historically), eagles, New England, packers (most years). Organizations who get into the post season year after year and don’t go on a New England like run but are always there. they get to the tournament enough where one year they can bust the door down and break through and win the whole thing.
we have not been that for 25 years. Some will blame jerry and that’s fine he’s not above criticism and it’s Fair but more important is making sure we become one of these franchises and getting back to the post season and hopefully going on a run is a key building block in doing so this season.
