It seems that every year we have early successes and then come a key game like this and we always manage it to lose. I truly hope things are different and that this team is ready to play on the national stage and have the opportunity of taking the lead in the division and sinking an opponent.

I don't know about "make or break" for us at this point. Before the season I was struggling to find a game we could win, with how we've looked so far I have turned from pessimist to something better than that. I still have no expectation for the season in terms of the real goal of post-season play, but seem to have conned myself into believing we can win 8 games if all goes well.
And looking at the division, all of a sudden 8 wins may mean something after all. So there's that...
But we also need to remind ourselves that 6 wins would double our win total from last season, which would be significant progress. I guess I will continue to be safisfied with a competitive team that plays hard week in and week out.
Been a fan for 50 (!) years and am reduced to hoping for a six win season... Kinda sad.
