I believe it is a whole new story this year, for the better.
I see more fire and execution across the board, better control of the outcome and little the other teams can do to stop us when we are giving a full effort.
In the Raven's game we chose to come out of the half conservative and lazy (coaches fault), but AS SOON AS the Raven's forced the coaches to be aggressive and play for the score, we converted almost instantly once and convincingly again. Add in that they did not lose hope as they would in the past (incorrect calls by refs, scores by ravens), and the mindset appears to have changed.
I myself predicted we would cave after the seemingly hopeless effort to battle the ravens and zebras simultaneously, but they proved me wrong. Andy's leadership was a big part of that from what I could see.
I'm drinking the kool-aid, and have not done so in previous years. Black cherry obviously since it is the best, even if it isn't orange.
