Paytons responsibility for bad draft and free agent choices. And no we arent lucky though lately we win crappy games to get to 7 wins for some kind of legacy of not being worse than that.
When you compare other teams that are rebuilding, it's a minor success. You see teams like Cleveland or Jacksonville that constantly hover over 4 wins at best for the last decade with no success.
If the team can get 8 this season, I'll be happy going into next season.
