I'm more optimistic about this team/season than I was before the game....
Defense was much better than I expected. We have a great kicker. WRs seem to be solid and our RB (what's his name) seems to have some speed and toughness. Oline was serviceable and once their healthy and get some games under their belt, they can be pretty good. Coaching seems to be better as well.
That said, Drones has not gotten any better. It's clear he's reached his ceiling. If he hasn't improved at this point, it would be naive to think he would get better as the season goes on. So we just have to hope he has enough good plays to offset the bad.
I was worried we would be looking at 3, maybe 4, wins. But after tonight I'm thinking 7 is not just possible, but reasonable to expect.
