Has the team mailed it in? (If so, why?)

I understand and agree with that but it's also only 2 games. If you have modest expectations you need to factor in some regression during the season as well as progress. If we come out and look good the next two weeks after the bye and win both games do we all of a sudden think we're headed to a 10-6 record? Or do we instead realize that as a young developing team that is dealing with injuries we will probably have some more downs to go with our ups?
