Thanks Smash. Right now I'd be ecstatic if we win 10 games, and while it's a reach, it's not impossible.

I don't think this article was unfair, but the thing I completely disagree with is the defensive comments. How are we going to get a lot worse? Do people not realize we canned Bresnahan? Do they not realize Routt and Wimbley sucked for us? Do they not realize we have a defensive minded staff now, in both our GM & HC?

I think the article should have mentioned that if DMC stays healthy and Palmer keeps the picks to a minimum, there aren't many defenses that will be able to stop us.
