The goals are
1) Win each game
2) Win the division
3) Get into the playoffs
4) The "critical" games are division games.
5) 10-6 will the division, especially if we win our division games (in which case 9-7 will be plenty)
------------------------------
The second season can be won by the team who wants it most and is a bit lucky.
-----------------------------
Even the most critical among should believe that this team can go 6-2 if we have our act together by mid-season. Brady has promised that he would have his offense in sync by then. I believe him.
The last eight regular season games are
jets,pack,bears,lions,fins,texans,jags,titans
Anything can happen on any Sunday, but that is one easy schedule!!!
--------------------------------------
BOTTOM LINE
IMHO, if we are 4-4, we are track for 10-6.
We need to win 2 of the next 5, which "should" be doable
The next five are
bengals,fins,bills,vikes,colts
We would be in EXCELLENT playoff position if we beat the bills and fins, and have no more players going to IR. We would be 4-4 and 4-0 in the division, 2-0 against our biggest obstacle in he division, the bills.
--------------------------------------
Now, let's concentrate on one game at a time, and understand that we will be in fine shape as long as the team gels by mid-season. This team is always a second half team, which is a condition that leads to Super Bowls.
