In fairness, I was thinking 10 assuming we could start 5 and 1. We instead were 3 and 3. I still think we can get there if we are healthy and continue to improve.
But yeah, we won SEVEN games last year with an awful offense (in terms of consistency), and a defense that needed the whole year to play well.
It wasn't hard to think we could be a few games better than the dumpster fire of disfunction we fielded last year. It just felt 'lucky' to get what we did last year because for many, it seemed like Russ was saving us when in fact, he was sinking us and if Geno had been given the reigns from week 1, we'd have won at least a game or 3 more. Given how he's playing now, that's not hard to imagine.
