It doesn't guarantee success, sure. But what always flabbergasts me about the GDT thread is how short people's memories are.
Losing 2 games in a row in December taking us to 9-5? Absolutely nobody felt great and yet we went on to win it all.
That's why I don't get the doom and gloom at 10-2. There's plenty of reason for concern but this team, time and time again, has overcome adversity to put it together. They absolutely have the roster to win another championship if we can start executing. Even our OL is good enough for us to raise #7 if we can put it together.
