Have we improved enough the offense can still play like it played last year in some games?

And we are banking on everyone staying healthy? There will be injuries as we have one more hurdle now to solve by probably next offseason when the S&C everyone has been crowing out is exposed. I'm not banking on PJ Williams staying healthy or Swann. They just may not have the size to contend in the NFL. We don't know if Kikaha is really the answer or not.

Agreed on just about every point.
