Is there still room for improvement? Obviously. Have faith in the long term plan. I don't think there's any way McC ignores the defense again this year. And at this point they'll probably bring in a new coordinator just to top it off.

Great post!!!!!!! But your post basically says it all in how we really aren't a playoff team this year. That D can't be counted on for a "must stop". If the offense sputters, we are screwed. I know I tend to be negative, but we played with a purpose last December to get the title, now it seems like "MEH".
