I agree with those that it isn't just about wins, but how they play.  Losing 10 games by a last second field goal would give me more hope for the future than 9 losses that were complete blowouts.  I would also like to see a lot of rookies and young players get significant playing time and see improvement as the year progresses.

I feel that I would be slightly disappointed with only 6 wins.  As discussed in another thread, we got 7 new starters via free agency, 3 drafts picks from last year are projected to move into starting roles this year, and we are likely to add 2 or more new starters from the upcoming draft.  We also have better depth.  We also have better coaching.  I think a lot would have to go right for us to be a playoff team in 2022 but feel 7 or 8 wins is a realistic number that I would consider to be good.  I want the team to be competitive week in and week out, being at least "in the hunt" for a playoff spot late in the season and setting up the team to have a realistic hope of being a playoff team in 2023.
