Realistic Expectations for the Season?

10-6 still take the afc south this team always performs better as underdogs

I want either ten wins or two wins. Nothing in between. Sadly, I think that is where we will end up.

yep, we will be just good enough to not get a high draft pick but not good enough to make any noise in the playoffs.

So if this is true, and I think it is the most likely outcome, how do we escape this particular kind of football hell?

5-11 or thereabouts

Hmm. Pretty close as it's turning out. I don't know, maybe they can get a 7th win somewhere. I do know that the Colts team that played the Saints last night won't beat anybody. Pathetic performance

So when we go 8-8 because the next two teams are mailing it in the rest of the year. Does everyone feel a little better about the season?

you cant unless you produce a terrible year when some good QBs come into the draft or somehow get lucky with a FA QB which isnt likely to happen.

no one on the current staff would seem to be the type to tank.

Agreed. It's though adjusting your hopes down from a possible run where you had a chance every year to go make it to the Super Bowl to whatever it is we are now. To be a consistent threat you seem to need a franchise qb.

Well we squandered it. Backed a couple idiots too long. Teams already move on after a season or two. I wonder if they will move even faster now afraid their window might retire after a big contract.
