Don't get me wrong - I'm nervous about this year, as we're as close to a legit Super Bowl team as we've been since probably 2003. But that fact doesn't change the fact that next year is when all of the stars should finally align.

I'd be fine with the thought process that next year is the year, but we're left praying that scumbag Bob Sutton is finally shown the door. We're also left praying that Veach actually learns how to scout defensive talent and signs something other than overpaid trash in free agency. What hope do we have currently that next year will be any better than this year?
