big difference

At this time of the year it's every team's ambition"to get to the SB". I understand where JG is coming from because it's much too early to put that bull"s-eye on your back already. Gibbs has always been a cautious optimist, and remembering at one point in the season we were 5-6 even with the additions we've made we still have to keep things in perspective. We have a very tough schedule and there's going to be some close games played in there against some very good teams espically in our own division. We all look to improvement over last year, but I would not go as far to say that anything less than a SB victory would be dissapointing. Even if we "think" we can make it to the SB, August is not the time to speak, and I think that's the point Gibbs is trying to make. Maybe in December we can entertain that kind of talk.
