Reassessment of expectations

I saw them as a 9 win team that could go either way. If things went wrong with the early season schedule as a result of the OL struggling early they could have been a 7 or 8 win team (or even 6 if the locker room turned due to the losing early in the season). But, if things went right with the OL and injuries, I thought they could be a 10 or 11 win team.

This early season success has moved up my expectations some. I now see them as a likely 10 or 11 win team that gets into the playoffs and has a shot to win a game or two. But, I think they lack the depth and another weapon or two on either side of the ball to be a Super Bowl contender. Still I hope I'm wrong and if you get hot in the playoffs, you never know what can happen.
