While I share your enthusiasm and excitement, let's get back to planet earth.

 

At the VERY best, and it's a reach, we make the playoffs as a wild card contender.

 

Remember, the Colts have a pretty good team still, although they are going through a transition.  As much as we all hate it, they are the "team to beat" in our division.

 

The Texans can still be very dangerous.  I believe that last season was a fluke for them.  They are much better than their record showed.  Quite a few of their losses last season came in the final minutes or overtime in games, and they didn't lose many games by a huge margin.  Mark my words, I don't see them having the first pick of the 2015 draft next year, and it's quite possible they won't even have a pick in the first 10 positions.

 

The Titans are rebuilding just like we are.  I don't see them having as much talent as the Colts or the Texans, but somehow they always manage to be in the mix.  They have always been our nemesis, and I wouldn't take it as a "given" that we can beat them twice.

 

I would give us the possibility of going 3-3 in the division.  There is always a chance that any one of our division rivals can beat us, and it's very likely.

 

Looking at the schedule for next season, I don't see any games that favor us significantly.  Look at each opponent, and the game can go either way.  While we see the upgrades that we have done on our team, other teams have also upgraded.

 

I would be happy and satisfied if we can get to .500 this coming season, then move up in the 2015 season.  I believe that we have the players and the tools in place to at least accomplish that.  Depending on how the season plays out, 8-8 might get a wild card spot.
