This is not to mention about 4-5 teams ahead of us would need to finish on a mediocre at best pace.
I will consider this year a decent success if we're watching at any point in September for a reason other than evaluating prospects. If we finish above .500, that's a good season. Lest we forget this team has barely finished on the right side of .500 at all over the past 3 decades. 4 years in a row, with a championship and a runner up in there, would be huge.
But, I'd love it if they did pull the miracle. And if so, look out. I don't want any part of the new Danny Duffy if I'm an opponent in a 1 game elimination scenario

9-5 in August and 7-3 in the last ten games. Both are in line with a 28-16 finish. We also have six games against Cleveland and eight games against Detroit to do some damage and get back into the division race.
