What's with the talk on the board of 7 wins? Really?
Nearly every team after every game (win or lose) can say - oh if we had only (1) not fumbled on that drive, (2) not thrown that one interception, (3) not had that penalty, (4) had the refs not been against us, (5) had the wind not blown at just that moment, (6) if we had just returned one punt for 15 yards, etc...... It is really hard to see in our record the last four years any reasonable expectation that we can win 7 games next year. And if you look beyond our recent past for projection, what confidence can you get from our QB room now (anticipating based on his history that our starter will be injured, probably early in the season) and the lack of any stars anywhere else on the team or any record of improvement year to year, There isn't much in our roster or coaching staff that says 7 is realistic..
We should all jump for joy if we get 7 wins. I know I will. But I just don't see it as a reasonable goal for this team.
