Also clots with Rivers ain't scaring anyone and their defense is good not great.
the bolts may have a good defense but neither tyrod nor herbert are worrisome. 
and the tacks have a question mark at QB as to whether playoff Tannehill is the real Tannehill. But let's say they are the best team in the division, even the tinhorns have an aging and questionable defense and without Nuke the offense will not be the same, albeit with Houdini in the pocket.

so 2 division wins plus 4 wins from Bengals, Phins, Bolts, Browns, Bears.

Add in one of the usual surprise wins against a team we shouldn't beat, or perhaps a team we sometimes have their number even when we're bad a la the Steelers.

It really isn't that crazy to think about a 6-7 win team next year.

I would say 8-8 is the likely ceiling and a goal to prove that A) Minshew IS the man and b) our team is rebuilding in a positive way. 
6-7 wins would be a success considering roster turnover of many players, especially if Yan doesn't play or gets moved.

This is really bad.
 
LDE - Josh Allen
LDT - Abry Jones
RDT - Taven Bryan  (Hamilton)
RDE - Yannick Ngakoue (Chaisson)
WLB - Myles Jack
MLB - Joe Schobert
SLB - Cassius Marsh Sr.
LCB - Tre Herndon
SS - Ronnie Harrison
FS - Jarrod Wilson
RCB - CJ Henderson

And compare with

LDE- Calais Campbell
LDT- Malik Jackson
RDT- Marcell Dareus
RDE- Yannick Ngakoue 
WLB- Myles Jack
MLB- Poz
SLB- Telvin Smith
LCB- Jalen Ramsey
SS- Barry Church
FS- Tashaun Gipson
RCB- A.J Bouye

This roster has gone backwards massively. I hope I'm wrong but my expectations are so low. Like 3 wins would be pretty good.
