as of this year we should be making the playoffs perennially.

Once that's happening we'll see how we stack up, and if we can be 'contenders'. but for now we're still in the 'make the playoffs every year' step. Once we get to the dance every year we'll see if we can take the next step to be one of the favorites/contenders/teams with expectations to win it all.

This year we could surprise and go deep.
This year we could stumble again and just fall short of even making the playoffs.

Very interesting how we do this year. Last year of the fluctuating expectations IMO. From here on out it's advance forward, no more up-down-up-down.
