I look at it this way. The team is 28-9, and I didn't expect that so I'm happy, but as many have realized, the regular season is simply a long tune-up for the postseason. Flip has 45 games to get it together. This team has the talent and depth to win it all. No question about it. Starters are too comfortable. They have enough talent to rack up 50-55 wins, but they ain't hungry and it won't magically happen without an external force pushing on them. Can they magically just "up" their hunger level when the playoffs start? Maybe. But Flip's vomit offense won't cut it. Jacking up 3's leads to a sense of complacency. Joe D needs to get in Flip's azz. Joe D ought to pay LB to sit behind the bench for the next 20 games to scare the crap outta Flip.
