My take with all major sports and teams I pull for is this when it comes to the midway point:
As long as your at least .500 you still got a good chance to make playoffs. Now you can play your way out of it with anything less at the half way point.
We just have to focus now on our weakness and how to improve them and stay positive. Best ball has to played now and its all about getting hot at the right time. The advantage I see we have is that the NFC is especially bad this year so there alot of teams that gotta improve. Our offense really needs to get down to business and dig deep at this point.

we need to take a step back....name one team that had instant success on season one with a new GM, new coaching staff, new QB, crappy line, a 40yr old WR, a flag football league WR, no-name RB and a 4-3 defense playing 3-4?!

Never give-up. Some people just had higher expectations than others.

Miami and Atlanta. Granted they didn't have all the intangibles you listed above, but they did have new coaches, new quarterbacks, crappy offensive lines and I doubt their skill position players were hot shit too.
4-4 at the bye, I'm not complaining. Got a lot of work to do over the bye, but overall not a bad first 8 games of the new regime.
And just think of this, AT LEAST WE'RE NOT DALLAS!
I'm with you, but know your audience. Remember when we win we're just lucky. When we lose we're a terrible franchise.
Sums it up so well

We're an 8-8 team. I have made peace with that, you should too.

I'm certainly not ready to give up, but this is about where we deserve to be at the halfway point. This team will finish in the 7-9 to 9-7 range, depending on the bounces, and will probably be in the hunt for the last playoff spot, but not much more. That's a vast upgrade over 4-12, and I'll gladly take that in Shanny's first year.
