Reassessment of expectations
I'll also say that I am trying to temper expectations for myself to avoid disappointment later. The way they look right now they are a Super Bowl contender and look like a 12 or 13 win team. But, it's a long season, injuries happen, teams adjust to what you are doing, and this team doesn't have a lot of depth. Still this is a very good coaching staff so maybe they can make those backups play at a higher level than I think.
