In my gut, my feelings are that we have improved the team, but we still might end up with a worse record. Everybody in the division got better on paper, so it's going to be a real grind.
Having said that, this team was four plays away from being 12-4 last year, so they aren't absurdly far off. Would it surprise me if they made a deep run? No. But, I don't feel like we've improved enough to do it. I think we're missing another 3-5 players in key spots to really contend, but hopefully they'll surprise me. And if they don't, if we make the right offseason moves, I could truly see it coming together for 2013.
My gut 7-9
My hope.... 11-5
