I completely 100% agree with you. Stopping the run better, and grinding out clocks on the ground better. That to me is the difference this year. It should make us more 'multiple', tougher to game plan against, and tougher to beat.
We face tough competition but if injuries break our way as Matty aptly points out, there's no reason why not us.
The difference between being good and bad in the NFL really is a fine line.
