re: Anybody feel like this football season is the most critical we have had in a decade?

I still think last year was the most critical. To see which direction the program was heading. We had a good year to build on so will be top 5 preseason. If last year had gone badly things could have easily snowballed. Which is why burrow and Tracey adds were so huge. I think just those 2 guys gave us 2-3 more wins than we would have had.
