I'll cut Zac some slack if there are a lot of injuries.  We have added a god bit of talent, but we still don't have much depth.  And I'll give him a break if we lose some games on hail marys, pick sixes, or some lucky flukes like that, but keeping games close is meaningless.  Almost EVERY NFL game is close.  When you look at betting lines it is rare to see a spread over 7 points.  The biggest difference between good coaches and bad coaches is winning the close games.

If our QB is in fact human, he will make some mistakes. He needs to learn from them, but some of them could cost some games. 
Also, for whatever reason, last offseason was abysmal,  which I lay at the feet of the FO, not the coaching staff. So it's like ZTs first season. Not really, but I give them credit for improving and ADAPTING during the season.
So yeah, you do sound like you're greasing the skids.
I THINK the team can and should win more games this year, but my measuring stick is not the W/L column.
