IMO you were mostly right, the first run happened because The Chad was great, not because the team was playing that well. The only part you were wrong about was the pessimism about their chances to turn it around, and you were hardly alone in that.
Really this season is just another reminder how much a team can improve once they find their game. Gulutzans Flames found their game after that loss streak and a talk over beers on the train. Hartleys Flames found a new gear after the linebrawl in Vancouver. Just how it goes.
