Exactly. What is July for if not for unbridled enthusiasm for one's football team? Reality will settle things later.
A division title and first-round win would be my answer. Last year was all about doing what had not happened before or what had not happened for a long time, and we did that with a division title (first in six years), playoff win (first in 31 years) and road playoff wins (first ever!)
So, I want to shatter two more firsts this season: first time winning the division in back-to-back seasons (we would have done that in '82 if not for the strike) and first time winning a playoff game in back-to-back seasons.
