Lose to NW and I do not see a path to 5 wins, and thus another "step back" season. This game is a legit "Must win" for Frost, and I am fascinated to see how they perform.
Do they go into a shell and let the D win it?
Do they play/coach with actual "no fear of failure"?
Do they clean up the Oline issues, and work around seemingly unfixable ST problems?
For the record, I see a result very much like Buffalo, as NW is punchless. But...if its a game deep into the 4th it will be fascinating to see how Frost and his staff hold up, likely knowing a loss could seal their fate. I say this because the stench around the whole program and media firefight would be debilitating to say the least. Trev has basically laid the groundwork with his comments around details, etc. and he will be asked for a vote of confidence in Frost soon. For all these reasons, it truly is a must win, and probably need to look good doing it.
