8-6 - 5-2= 3-4 over the last 7. That is certainly dissapointing when those losses include the Jets and the Chargers and 49ers at home.
8-6 with a chance for the division and #1 or #2 seed isn't disappointing.
If they drop the next 2 games, i'd venture to guess that there would only be a handful of people that wouldn't be disappointed at 8-8 after a 5-2 start, #1 seed (at the time) and most likely out of the playoffs--considering the relative health of their most important players and how thing fell up to then.
People can say "at the beginning of the year" all day, but when you start 5-2 and the #1 seed, the bar gets raised.
Again, going into the season, pretty much everyone on this board, including you, knew and commented that the first half of our schedule was easier than the 2nd half. It should not have been a surprise or disappointment to anyone that we would have more wins at the beginning of the season than we would get at the end of the season. Yes, some of the losses were disappointing because of who they lost to, but some of the wins were fabulous because of who they beat.
