Isolated metric though. Yes, we are trending down if you want to look at the standings. One could argue that we are closer to our next playoff spot today than we were lets say, we were in 2011. We might be lower in the standings than then, but we were driving away from 8th. An argument could be that we've finally gotten to the end of the road and we are now turned around and driving back towards 8th. To me that makes us closer and trending up.
Agreed though, time will tell, and to someone elses point, all of this only matters in relativity to other teams, but I feel better today about our direction than I did at the start of this year.
