So what happens?

- The offense goes from scoring 12 ppg to scoring 24 ppg.

- The team goes from an average margin of defeat of 21 points in their first 5 losses, compared to an average margin of defeat of 8 points in their last 5 losses - including a 23 point defeat against Buffalo.

- The rush defense has risen from the 30th ranked unit, giving up over 160 ypg, to the 12th ranked unit, giving up 118 ypg.


Yet people would rather bitch that we've ****ed up our draft status by winning a game...

God forbid we would have won a few of the others that we likely would have with even average coaching. (NYJ, TB, SD)

With a new GM, coaching staff, and 2 more solid drafts, this team makes the playoffs in 2010.

Sadly, we're likely not getting the first two, so...

Excellent post. The D leads the league in turnovers...go figure..but that doesn't come form a totally crappy defense ... and considering the injuries..Clark wanted to see them competitive, regardless of wins...and let's be honest, the refs did screw us in the opener on the road....would have been a huge confidence builder...

This team is gonna be on fire by the time the stadium is finished, IMO...
