Here's how...

Wins: CLE, @CLE, WAS, NYG, @HOU, BAL

Losses: @NE, PIT, @BAL

Toss Ups: BUF, PHI

Take the two toss up games and they are 10-6, back into the playoffs, have no expectations, and pull off the upset to break the streak.

They only have to win 2 road games @CLE and @HOU to do that (very realistic), and could surprise PIT or @BAL to get to 11-5.

People bail too easily when things get tough.

I agree that we love to pile on when things aren't going well. What has me very pessimistic about their chances this year is that they seem one dimensional (throw it to AJ or pray), and the have zero explosion on offense. A team that's won over 50 games the last few seasons should be able to go into NE and put up a great fight or even win. This team struggles to put up points. They have to hold the Patriots to 17 points or so to eek out a win. It does feel early to bail on the season, but they've shown next to nothing so far.
