But I always thought we were still going to be a year away no matter what.

We'll need to continue to build on that, but to have a shot at 10 wins and a playoff spot at this point in the year is great.

Now, the defense has been disappointing. No way to sugar coat that.

....this.  I had no idea the D would be this bad, but aside from that, it's hard to be negative about what they've done up until now.  Like you guys, I think it takes adding a couple more missing pieces to become a legit contender.  They need to have another good offseason to get there.  Hopefully they get it done again.
