I actually think it's justified. We were good last year, but not great. It took an incredible motivational job by Joe Gibbs to get the team through December after losing Taylor. Collins came in and did a great job, too.

Given that there's big change on offense (totally new passing system), and a change on defense, and given that we don't have that motivating force in Gibbs for the stretch run, I'd say we're more likely to finish below .500 than above it.
