Why? Because you don't want it to go backwards? Sometimes you have to take a step back to take steps forward.
I largely care mostly about whether or not this organization is moving closer to being a regular contender. Not a once in a decade fluke.
So I look at the overall assets in the organization more than the standings.
The rise in standings will come in time, as the overall talent level in the organization improves.
Right now it isn't good enough.
And it hasn't been for damn near 30 years.
A lucky playoff run 2 years ago doesn't change that.
Eye on the prize - which is being able to compete for the mug on a regular basis.

You are thinking too much in absolutes. "A proper rebuild doesn't go backwards".
So every time a year gets off to a bad start you BLOW IT ALL UP!!!!!?
