All of this.

This idea that it worked last year, so it’s going to work again is so lazy and ignorant.

What I think you take from last year is that the team has an incredible foundation and they have figured out how to win, at least during the regular season. They are confident and don’t seem to let much bother them. Team chemistry is incredible. They have a ton of respect for Hyde and the coaches.

All of that is important.

But to just assume everything falls in place again and that improvements only need to come from within is just wrong.

Exactly.  We were fortunate last year with the health of our starting staff and our outstanding RISP numbers.  It's smart to expect a regression in those two areas, and acquire players in the offseason to offset the possible regression.

It’s to give nerds something to get off to. They certainly aren’t getting any otherwise. 

LOL at the downvotes. Guess that one hit a little too close to home for some.
