After years, no wait, decades as a pretender we are now a contender for the division title. We are suddenly the team to beat rather than the one playing for the upset. Going from the mentality of an door mat to one of the target of others is a HUGE paradigm shift for this organization its fans and mostly the players. It would seem easier to mentaly prepare as an underdog looking for the upset rather than as the leader fending off the pack.
Hopefully this team takes the next step in its development tomorrow and finds a way to maintain their focus and take care of business in an important division road game.

The fans and media should be nervous, the team is constructed almost as the fans and media wanted it. Minus a few things like Boldin being signed over Fitz, and McGinnis being the man to get them around .500, it's almost exactly as wished for.

Not making the playoffs in this division would be a significant blow.
