This team will do better than I originally predicted (6-8 wins), but making the playoffs isn't a high probability yet given their inconsistent play.
I think they have another 3-5 wins in them, putting them at 8-10 wins.

I think this is what bothers people.  Everyone expects/expected the team to lose more games this season.  Every game was winnable, and maybe they still win out the rest of the year.  But there was fear of overlooking the Lions, and they took care of business.  They played a big game and won against the Ravens.  But then failed to come up and take the Jets as they should.  Which is concerning.  

Maybe it's a wake up call for the team.  Or maybe they still don't have the leadership/maturity to avoid the letdown.  Which is concerning if you're talking about playoffs, where the end of the season and each playoff game may require one statement game/big win after another.  

I'm not mailing it in on the season, but I'm sure disappointed to see the defense especially come out so flat yesterday, and absolutely raises concerns about how the team will perform in the future after a big game.
