Same exact roster with same coaching staff is 7-1 with a really good LT or better special teams or no injuries or a few better decisions by Lebby/Players. That tells me we are close. If we were 6-2 or 7-1, Lebby would be coach of the year and a candidate for one of these job openings.

We have to improve the O-line. Lebby needs to improve game management decisions. And we need to continue to have stability. The playoffs will be expanding to 16 teams. We can make the playoffs with Lebby as our coach 1 out of every 4-5 years. I truly believe that. I don't need to see another win this year, but I hope we do mainly to shut up the critics, improve morale and help with retaining and obtaining players.
