so.......anything less than a win is not progress?

Las Vegas knows what they are doing with the odds on a game. They built a city on knowing the odds. The Chiefs are the biggest underdog in the NFL this week.

I never insinuated this. I made the statement above in humor hoping for a win, but I would not be terribly disappointed if we lose a close game in a well played game. And, yes, for the most part, the Vegas oddsmakers DO know what they're doing. They get paid to do this for a living, and are usually right more times than not as far as win/loss goes. That being said, I've seen oddsmakers look stupid over the years when a heavily favored team choked. So these odds are not gospel either. And, from the looks of the poll, it looks like the majority here agree that a win here indicates progress. So I don't think my statement above was out of line.

Win, close losses accomplish nothing. The team played it close against Baltimore week 1 last year and couldn't build on it. The year before close losses to the Chargers further deflated the team. Winning intstills confidence. Losing just sucks.

A win.

I thought it was missing, so rechecked, nope, no option for a close loss. Keep it close with Indy pulling away at the end, means Indy still wins by a good chunk. Keep it close, but Indy wins, just keep it close, that is progress.
