Quote:I'd like to see if we can make the playoffs. We'll know the answer to this by Week 4.

 

The only thing we'll definitively know the answer to by the end of the pre-season games is who is going to get cut right away. That's pretty much the purpose of these pre-season diversions anyway. Trying to draw anything from them about the team beyond that is simply 'barking up the wrong tree' as they say. Once the regular season starts, we'll know pretty quickly what we've got and what we don't have.

 

I will say that the grossly exaggerated claims of the prowess of certain players, along with the unrealistic expectations of being 'play-off contenders' right now is only going to fuel fan frustration when those expectations aren't lived up to. Let's set a realistic goal of going at least 8-8 and hope for that this season. Next season we'll be far more ready to contend for the play-offs. At least, that's my opinion.

 

If we can't reach at least 8-8... well then, it's time for heads to roll.
