    Taking the pulse of SOSH for 2023

    Prompted by the Paxton discussion in the other thread and the inevitable buy/sell/hold debates that are coming this month. The last poll was looking backward. This one is looking forward. What say you?

    In mid-October, the team looked destined for mediocrity. In mid-December, the team looked like a favorite to win the AFC Championship. Which was the bigger mirage? Or did they end up right where they belonged?
