10 wins is to me a bit of a failure. This is the softest schedule maybe in the history of sports. Any of the top 5, maybe top 10, teams would have a chance to sweep this schedule. Its truly that soft.
But 10 wins will likely get you a wild card, a first round exit, and the retention of probably both Dennis Allen and Pete Carmichael. The question is, would you rather a wild card loss and keeping Allen, or no playoffs and Allen being gone? This team just isnt going to compete with the upper echelon teams. Weve played 2 average teams, and lost to both. Neither of them are going to be confused for KC, Buff, Philly, SF etc. I just dont think we are ever going to get an advantage from the sideline. Our guys are out there playing on grit, and in spite of the lack of talent coming from their coaching staff.
