Back in the preseason I was hoping for 9 wins but figured that was a pipe dream. I figured 6-7 would be flying and really thought 4-5 wasn't out of the question.

But he's swept the Steelers, swept the Ravens, took the Packers down to the wire and just beat the Chiefs. If you're gonna blame him for the loses you have to give him credit for the wins.

The Jets game pissed me off as did the Bears but hey every good team in the NFL has laid a couple eggs or more this year. We probably have a good chance at 49ers game if butterfingers wasn't punt returner.

At any rate I'll take a serving of crow.

I think the three straight INTs cost us the Bears game. The NYJ game was definitely a WTF moment regarding the coaches. Butterfingers cost us SF, and coming out flat against LA was likely on the staff. 

Hey, we're all eating crow. I felt like 7 wins was a pretty good bet, with 9 wins being the absolute ceiling coming into the season. I didn't think they'd do worse than 7 or 8 wins, but kinda felt like that was their potential.

Then I started noticing things....like games with zero penalties, better tackling fundamentals (most games), run contain, disciplined gap integrity on defense, and other small things that largely go unnoticed. That's around the time I created this thread.
