Whodi, I'm in complete agreement with this assessment. I think many fans believe that we'll have the same type of worst to first turnaround that the team had in 2000 when Haslett first came on board.

I think that if this team does absolutely everything right, it's likely that we'll win a maximum of 6 games. Our schedule has 8 games against teams in the playoffs last year (Bucs, Panthers, Giants, Skins, Cincy, and the SB champion Steelers). There is one team, Dallas, that missed the playoffs by a game. Baltimore is an up and comer and a different team with McNair. Same could be said for Philly with McNabb back.

I would consider it progress if the team can take one game against each of our divison opponents and to win each of the games against the 4th place teams last year (SF, Philly, GB, and Cleveland). That's 7 wins right there.
