Uh... Hell yes 7 wins seems pretty reasonable. The NFL is geared towards teams finishing 8-8. I don't like that a lot of us keep the training wheels on for Zac Taylor. Is he HC material or not? "He didn't have time to hire a staff.". "He didn't have time to scout players.". "A lot of our losses were by X amount of points or less.".

If he didn't "have time" to hire a staff, he certainly did this year. The same bozos are still here. Certainly he had time to scout college players this year, and I like our draft on paper... Time will tell. The thing about the close losses is the most laughable though. Which team in NFL history had 14 blowout losses? Again; it's an 8-8 league where games are decided by inches.

Then we come to the injuries. The Steelers were decimated by injuries on offense last year, and they were competitive. Every team suffers injuries. How many guys were on IR for the Packers when they won the super bowl with Aaron Rogers? I think it was close to 15.

So yes... This team should be at least around .500 this season, or Zac needs to go. 5 wins? Get the **** outta here.
