Is a high octane offense led by Griffin sufficient to keep you from damning Snyder down to the waterboy or do you need to see our record improve over the last two seasons (5 or 6 wins)?
I think my benchmark is eight wins. This roster is talented enough to be a .500 team, even in the NFCE.

I think we're all looking for progression in the end, but a much-improved offense sure as hell doesn't hurt.
I could get into detail, but in the end, I'd much rather lose 40-39 versus 7-3.
It's just been SO LONG since we've straight up blown another team out (the Lions a few years ago is really the last one I remember) and it's only been recently we've been able to even do the victory formation.

Not only that, Snyder hasn't been part of any conversation for me after Cerrato was fired (and even not much before then). As an owner he's grown significantly and I'm not going to be one of those people who constantly remarks on the 2000 spending spree.
That was old in 2004 and it's time the fans, the media and everyone realizes he's at least trying...

8 Wins is what I'd at least like to see BUT if we are competitive in every game and loose some nail biters then I will take less WINS. I think we have the makeings of a young but good team.

Good insight. I used the Snyder down to waterboy more as a figure of speech btw...

I will be okay if we have a season like Carolina did this past offseason. I want to see the offense improved and be able to put up points. Honestly, I have not a lot of expectations from the defense, b/c I don't think they are better than they were last season.

Got it. I'm just extra sensitive to that only because I read articles of people STILL referencing that spending spree and I'm like:

If the offense improves I could see us winning 8-10 games. We didn't really get blown out in many games last year. If RGIII can avoid the 2-3 to's per game that Grossman always got us we should do pretty well.

With an offense close to Carolina's last year we should have a decent record. Our D is much better than that bunch they have here.
