I think my view is different than many. Our defense is really bad. We were the worst defense of all playoff teams and gave up kike 500 yards in every playoff game after playing a whole season in the scheme. I am not a fan on depending on fantom turnovers on defense as a consistent way to win defensively. Perhaps our scheme is an issue. To me almost every position on defense needs an upgrade, although I like Luvu, and maybe Sanrisil, but he should be in the slot. Giving up 10 yard chunks any play a decent team wants and hoping we can consistently pull off comeback miracles is not sustainable. Hell, in a normal season, winning 2-3 games that way is the sign if an elite qb, I think we had 6 of em. Long term you gotta look at the law of averages. VI hate to say it, but the Eagles with a top defense is guaranteed to be in every game because of it. I dont see a one more year build, it is a couple as our squad is quite average ither than McLauren and Daniels. What happens if Daniels gets injured? Sheesh. We need a rock solid defense and a solid oline. That describes the team that will force us to be wild card contenders for the next 3+ years, unless we can somehow duplicate their squad. Remember all the posts in August about this being a 3 year build. A miraculous season does not alter our roster needs. Remember 5 straight years of 1st/2nd round draft flops that were supposed to be our pro bowler core. They dont exist. I mean Hail and all for this year for sure, but to build a contender, it usually takes years vs a fluke SB win (which has happened a few times, usually with defense)
