Quote:8-8 is possible. So is 0-16. This season, and every game we play is about ONE thing. Getting the laughingstock monkey off of our back. Every game we play we start with the disadvantage that the other team 'expects' to win. And further, is embarrassed to lose to us. It inspires them coming in to the game, and further inspires them to turn the momentum when we do manage to get things on track for a quarter or two.

This team needs to not just learn to win, but learn to put games totally out of reach for our opponents.

Every game is an uphill climb from start to finish, and will be for at least the next two seasons (likely more). Taking hold of this fact is paramount to turning the tide of the entire franchise.

This.

I would agree that 8-8 is 'possible'... but not probable, just as I would also agree that 1-15 is possible, but not probable. I still have doubts that we're ready to be competitive against the 'good' teams; however, I do think that we should start looking more competitive against the 'middle of the pack teams' this season. I maintain that a 5-6 win season is probably as close to a safe bet as one can get with this team this season. I would be more optimistic if we hadn't suffered two key injuries on defense already. As a result, I'm feeling like it might be smart to refrain from overly high expectations this season. If it happens that we do exceed these expectations, then that's great; if we meet the expectation of 5-6 wins, then okay. If we can't even manage 5-6 wins...

I expect that our team is a little better this season. The thing is, so are all the other teams. The question is; are we more improved than the other teams we play?

I y'ams who I y'ams and thats all I y'ams...
