We can close the gap with some smart defensive improvements, maybe even nudge ahead of Dallas if things break our way. But we should definitely not anticipate Dallas will regress.
I mean what about that offensive line says they'll go backwards, and did you see any lack of consistency in Prescott or Elliott's game last year? I didn't. They protected the ball game in and game out, and produced consistently.
They got bounced by Aaron Rodgers in the playoffs, on an incredible performance by him. No shame in that. Dallas is a very good team and we're going to have to be on our game to chase them down.

Speaking of Dallas, remember they had arguably the best defensive player in the draft sitting on the sidelines healing all season. If he's healthy AND that condition isn't degenerative, yikes.

We wouldn't be talking bout Dak or Spoon man without that Oline. Oh and Dallas Oline are coming up for contract extensions...Martin (Guard) and their Center are first I believe. That why they gotta let that other Guard Leary walk.
That's why we need to focus on building on that Dline folks.

Him next to Sean Lee is definitely scary.
It's not that they're not beatable. They are. We were close both times last year and the game could have broke our way a little differently. But do we see them being worse than 10-6?
I can't see it. We have to get better, and most of our cap space has to go towards maintaining the 8-7-1 roster we had last year. That's not to say there aren't opportunities. McC has 9 picks, and we've got some cap money to spend on a few new starters. But there's no doubt we're in chase mode. What can you say, Dallas hit the lottery on Prescott. It was butt-ass luck but it is what it is. We're chasing now.
I hate praising them but let's be real.
