I don't think the team should be getting too high on themselves until that point either. In fact you could argue the past two wins were a little more on Johnson than the team would probably like. Lots of things to iron out yet, so need to keep chipping away. Two quick bad games back to back sets them back to teetering on a lost season. So have to dig in and find a way to get points sunday and monday.
I agree with this, as much as they seem to be finding consistency in some ways I won't be fully convinced until the offense starts looking confident and in high gear as well. I still feel like half of the equation is missing, and as you stated Johnson has been a big reason for these wins. Still -- winning is good, so however it happens, lets hope it continues.
