I think there are 4 more winnable games (MN, ATL, AZ, and GB). Given that it’s always been a rebuild project, I think we keep Poles, Flus, and Fields if we get 7 wins, especially if we look okay in the losses.

The team is on the way up, still playing hard, and I think 3 years is a more reasonable timeline.

    Wait, Poles wasn’t building with years 1 and 2 in mind? I mean, year 1 sure … but year 2?

    All last year the narrative here was “yeah we’re really bad, but we have a ton of cap room and great draft capital this offseason, we will be much better next year after we spend and shore up the issues.” And now it’s, clearly we weren’t ever building to be decent this year?

    We were all over the “which team is going to be the most improved in 2023?” lists last year, and we are still miserable looking at a top-5 pick. This thread talking about running it back with another year of Fields (and Poles and Eberflus) is weird to me, given that 2 of our 3 wins so far were with Fields on the bench.
