Lets go back and put things into perspective:
1. New coach.
2. New system.
3. Adjustment period.

Looking at where we sit now I can't complain. Most everyone had the Skins last in the division and probably 8-8. We had a nice win streak and everyone started talking SB. We went up against most teams that have been running the same system for a few years and beat them, some in their own house. You have to be proud of the Skins no matter where they end up. A team with this much talent on a team screams SB but everyone needs to keep in mind the Skins were written off by most simply cause of the top 3 things I listed. Having said that to be on the winning side of things is nice instead of trying to break even. I would be estatic if we made 10-6 whether we make playoff or not.

I just hope our passing attack picks up and if not at the end of this season maybe next season we can become the scoring power house Zorn talked about. To be honest I have a hard time thinking one rookie WR is going to make this team look like a power house but I could be wrong. I say one cause Thomas has not done a whole lot even though he has played several games. I'm not knocking him just saying he is a diamond in the rough and will probably need another year to shine. We all are hanging our WR problems on one rookie WR and even then JC tends to only look at Moss and Cooley.

10-6 would be awsome but how would you all feel if we went 9-7. I think I would still feel good. Now if we started losing all our games and ended up on the negative side of things will really upset me.

All and all 10-6 is a respectable number play offs or not.
