Its sad to say but 5 games would be considered a improvement. Only won 4 last year. No matter how weak a schedule looks this the NFL. There is no such thing as a weak schedule or a easy win. 6-7 wins and I hate to say this because it hurts, but I would be happy and I would know they are building can can build off that. If they win 9-10 games I will mow Al Davis front and back yard for free with my own lawn mower.
We're on the same page.

We were crawling last year because we had an anchor on our QB's legs (McCown:injuries/weak arm, Pepp:gimpy/came late, JRuss: no pre-season).
We still beat Dungver and KC, and were close in a lot of losses. The improvents suggest we'll be much better out of the gate, much as the Lions were last year.

Sure, every NFL game is an adventure, but as it looks, the known quantities on this year's team are such an improvement, 6-7 wins looks easy.

It will take a lot of things to go right to win 9-10, but, barring disasters, it's doable.

Does Al paint his lawn silver and black after it's mowed? ;)

3 Buy coach/staff to implement plan that fits our personnel. Scheme for their particular talents. Don't be a jerk, even if the player is
If you get rid of all the prima donnas, you won't have a good team.
With the #1 defense, you only need so many points to win the Superbowl.
