Of course we don't know how this season will turn out. But based on two pre-season games we can (should we?) feel discouraged about the upcoming season. Then again after going all in for the SB winning season some of us knew there would be a price to pay. Possibly this upcoming season will be it-maybe not. My suspicion is the latter. So be it.
Then again we haven't seen much of the strarters that include some pretty good players. So I say (or write) lets wait and if it is a poor season (i.e. no playoff berth) then a lot of posters here and pundits believe that was to be expected.
