Quote:Expectations should be 6-8 wins this year.  Anything else would be considered a failure.  More than just wins you want to see a team molding into something greater. 

 

Quote:I don't think reasonable "expectations" for 2014 should go any higher than 6 wins. Thats just one man's opinion, but I see 7/ 8+ wins as a pleasant surprise, not an expectation. 

 

I will be expecting 9+ for 2015, and think thats fair, provided things keep progressing. 

 

I think this range is about right,

 

As I've said before, I think the team could start this season off slowly, given how the OL has to gel, and the quality of the QBs we face in the first 5 games.

 

I don't doubt the team will hold together through that stretch.

I wonder about the fans though.  I think the die hards will see that and understand.  But will the casual fans/new fans see the promise beyond that slow start?

 

But a more important question for you guys:

 

What do you think would accelerate the progress record wise...and what would delay that progress?
