That bleacher report article should be filed under in "Things That Every Team Needs to Do to Improve" folder. Not particularly insightful (at least for fans of the team).
I will always try to temper my expectations, because we've been burned so many times. This year is going to be tough because we have the #1 most difficult schedule coming into the year based on 2012 results (function of our division, getting the NFC West and AFC East and sliding into second place with our win streak at the end of the year). We have the best division in the NFL top to bottom, so we never get any easy games like so many other playoff staples have gotten (usually in the AFC) in the last few years.
