Believe what you want. I'm not even saying 9-7 isn't impossible this year. Maybe a bit of a stretch, but 8-8 is very achievable. 8 wins is a good first step in making progress. However, I've said plenty of times before how we can't count on our defense and I think we will fall a bit short. I don't expect Russell to mount a bunch of comeback drives as a rookie. I'm expecting 6 or 7 wins.

6 or 7 wins would be a bad year. 8-8 would be OK.
The schedule is weak. We have a very good running game and a vastly improved pass defense.
9-7 would be OK.
10-6 would make me happy.
