That puts you at 8 maybe 9 wins right now with a backup qb, injuries everywhere, hurricane relocation and Covid wipeout. Not to mention our caps situation before the season. Yes this was ugly, but it could be much worse considering everything I just mentioned. We have two weeks left a real legitimate shot at a playoff spot. You can’t consider this season a failure if this team gets in the tournament.

Agreed. Our coaches this year have all but worked a miracle. I have little interest in the playoffs now for a few weeks. Always fun to hope of course. This team just needs a lot of work. Any real shot we had (in my opinion) went down with Jameis, but he was playing with one hand tied behind his back and a WR group that can't even catch covid...
