To me, it all goes back to the big meeting Alex and Andy had during the bye week. The one where Andy told him he will need to show the ability to attack with the deep ball and to push the ball a lot more and Alex responded favorably.
There isn't a doubt in my mind that Andy knows EXACTLY what areas Alex needs to improve on going forward for us to improve and that Alex will put in the work to step his game up...just like he did after the bye.
Also, I know a lot of people here point to the schedule we face as a reason they might take a step back (record wise) because we face the NFCW...but fail to acknowledge that Alex has a long history in that division. I think this team will be in each of those games (sans Seattle)

I think the score against Seattle might be closer than people think, due to the way both teams play football.
