Not under the hypo that mike340 posted. We could play great, but simply be outplayed.

These are two very valid concerns that I hadn't considered. I think the first is less of a concern if we actually played well and improved each week, even if we lost some heartbreakers. The second, however, is always a possibility, but hopefully would be tempered by Gibbs showing Danny-boy that we are playing well.

We're not one player away, this team needs to show progress and some chemistry. They need to show that they have fight in them and that they won't quit. Otherwise, it's just going to be proof that this team doesn't have the intestinal fortitude to get it done next season.
