I commend your optimism but I'd say 8-8 is best case scenario and 7-9 is more likely. This defense is to bad we're to banged up and have a OC who has ran out of tricks.
And we also can't compete with the Chiefs or Patriots and Texans and Titans as well. Or for that matter the Saints, Rams, and probably not the Bears and others.
This team is far away from being competitive among those teams.
