    Don't think any of those are a gimme for play-offs yet. It's May. I'll sit back, be patient, and try to keep an open mind. Let me answer you at the end of September after four games or so are in the books.

    Of course.

    However, I am trying to gauge the pulse of the fanbase here now.

    I think these are all good changes but the new decision-makers need more time to turn these loser of an organization around.

    I don't see the play-offs in 2017 despite an outstanding effort by the new crew.

    All seem to be positive changes. I'm not a Tyrod Taylor fan and think they aren't either. Hopefully they will draft one of these good young QBs in the next draft. This team could certainly look good in 2020.

    No. This is another top ten draft pick team. Maybe, the new front office can get them to the playoffs in a year or two. But, next year this is a 5-7 win team.

    I'd love to say yes because I really like what's been done over the past six months, but the Realist in me is beating down the Homer so I have to say no for this season. Having said that, I wouldn't be too stunned if we were the surprise wild card team that nobody saw coming.

    Shouldn't this be, Terry was missing the most important piece, so Kim felt like she needed Doug and Russ, but, one of them need to go?

    Shoulda made a poll then.

    My answer is maybe, if we're lucky.

    If I created a poll, then your vote would be as valuable as anyone else's.

    I don't see it that way.

    I don't think my vote is valuable, either.

    This is not a playoff team. The offense is good enough to do their part but the defense is a mess and will be for a season or two until they get more fits for the system. And has anyone seen our schedule?

    Not even close, and with the schedule...even farther.

    New everything usually means a step back to take 2 steps forward long term.

    No.

    Maybe in two seasons, assuming these youngsters don't fall on their faces
