We'll need more than just a "result" in Orlando. Given the upcoming stretch of games, we really need to take 3 points any place we can get them. A draw won't cut it.

Yes. I'm beginning to fear the Bruce Bump is over. That said, we all know he has a lot of rebuilding to do over the winter. I have full faith he'll do it.
I know the thought of the playoffs was so far out of the question a few months ago, but still, I will be disappointed if we didn't hang on, even if it's a one-and-done. Regardless, the off-season will be a serious rebuilding effort and I have full faith in Bruce that, for the first time, we will have some significant (Bou/Gil level) additions in key places to start the season.The 2020 Revs will be much better than any Revs team in many years.
I'm kinda sorta about here as well, (ha ha, I think I really believe this... maybe.... hopefully...) but the scars run deep, so I wont be preaching this as truth to others just yet. The main gauge on my Pragmatometer is indicating that positive outcomes feel more likely than in any recent history - but the secondary gauge indicates some strong lingering effects from long term accumulated repeat negative outcomes, which are still fresh enough that they could rear back up and hinder the positive trend. Hence the hedging by me on what the Pragmatometer reading is really telling me just now. (As opposed to how I want to interpret it...which is that "The Bruce Will Make All Well")

Bruce appears weekly (Thursdays) on the Zolak and Bertrand show (98.5), as did Friedel before him. A little quid pro quo for Patriots' access?
