We had to improve on both sides of the ball, so much so that it was nearly impossible to correct everything in just one year. While my hopes are definitely up for this coming season, I believe it won't be until 2019 that we'll see the completed task of upgrading more across the board. Still, by winning 7 games last season with that train wreck, things are looking tons better for 2018 especially for the second half of the season.
