Quote:For anyone talking about a 9-7 record, here's a very good question from the radio recently: when was the last time a team won as many games in one season as they did in the previous three years combined? Because that's what you're asking for. And I think that also showed what a ridiculous expectation 8-8 is as a minimum acceptable record.

I disagree with the 8-8 part of this. I understand we are in the 3rd year of a total rebuild of an awful roster but Caldwell has provided bradley with a lot more talent than he ever had before.


Last year we left a lot of points on the field with bortles early struggles and some mistakes by both the coaching staff and young players and had we had a little more experience its perfectly conceivable to think the eagles ravens steelers titans were all winnable


With the fa acquisitions and the improvement of bortles not only are we more experienced but also more talented than we have ever been before


Last year the dolphins and niners went 8-8 the Brown's went 7-9. With the talent on this team I feel we are at a similar level to where those teams were last year... Dolphins obviously improved with suh, the niners went backwards and the browns stayed much the same.


For Bradley to stay safe we need to see significant improvement in line with the talent level of this team and that for me has to be around 8-8.


I don't feel 6-10 can be considered an acceptable result of three years of effort
