If another year of playoff qualification and no advancement happens in 2018, will that be seen as return to normalcy or that the system is still broke?

I think the new FO will want to mark it as not acceptable and will lean toward dumping the coach to complete the house cleaning.
Or they won't be able to agree on terms if M3 wants a big deal without big production and "mutually" part ways.

I think they are due for another dominant year -- 12-4/13-3 -- and a deep playoff run if Rodgers stays healthy and they can leverage their sudden riches at running back.

The defense will be a major wildcard but that puts more responsibility on M3 to make sure the offense returns to 30 ppg.
