Never in my fandom have I been able to have an expectation like that, however a team with a top 25 defense(21st by one publication) need to win at least 8 games. End of story, done with moral victories, make it happen boys.

Yes our defense is better, but I think you're forgetting our offense is worse (by about 30-40%, if I had to assign it a number), and our special teams/punting is way, way worse (by at least 50%)...........so that's a real stretch to expect more wins this season than last season. In the last 2 weeks alone, we had the laughable punt block, and at least 3 other shanked less than 20 yards that forced our D to START DEFENDING within OUR OWN 20 yard line!!!!!!!!! Just ridiculous. The fact that the staff didn't see this coming may be their biggest blunder of the offseason.
Love the enthusiasm, but not sure the expectation jives with reality.
I feel ya, but the D is giving up less than 20 points a game, no reason even our offense shouldn’t be able to beat that. Especially with some far lesser opponents coming up.
