Quote:That looks reminiscent of a Jack Del Rio coached team.  8 - 8 would be acceptable given the past few years, but I'd rather start slow and finish strong if 8 - 8 indeed is our record this year.  I'm thinking 6 or 7 wins myself, though I won't try to predict the games.  

 

Yeah the 3 Losses at the end would be disappointing, but I think 8 wins is very acceptable IMO. Think of it as:

 

1st year - establish culture

2nd year - be more competitive (regardless of record)

3rd year - compete for a playoff spot (8-8 would be that)

4th year - learn how to get over the hump and make the playoffs.

 

I think, give how we started, that's an acceptable trajectory.
