9-7 was their ceiling if they got every bounce going their way, and they'll still probably **** up and hit their floor of 6-10 to ensure they don't draft anyone good next year in what's being described as a weak class.

Talent level is higher
Maclin is huge upgrade over Bowe
Rookie center is bright spot of woeful O-line
Mental toughness is the difference.
Can't tell if it's because Reid just doesn't demand it, or he thought shouldering the blame would inspire his team instead of making them complacent, but that's the 2015 story.
