I've got the same affliction but not as bad as years past. Last year I just KNEW we were destined for the playoffs and convinced myself that the pre-season was meaningless. Anything less than 11 wins was inconceiveable.

Now I am optimistic we will be better than last year but not deluded that we are a budding powerhouse. I expect great things offensively but similar struggles on defense. I think our divsion is weaker with no Tuna or Tiki but I don't expect us to run thru it at a 6-2 clip as I expected last year.

Last year I had the full blown fever, now it just a bad case of the sniffles.
