that may be, but it's more impressive to go from 1-15 to 10-6 or 11-5* (assuming we hit 11-5 we have a chance to go even further of course. )

I hope we do it. If we beat the Chiefs this weekend, we will become the first team to go 1-15 one season and win 10+ games the following. The most any 1-15 team ever won the next year was 9 games.

We should keep on mind that tho we only won 1 game last year,we did lose 6 games by 3 points or less....I felt before the year that our special teams would be better(with all the players we got in free agency that were good ST players)our run defence was going to be better with our new D-line anchor by Ferguson and our run game would be good too....so I thought we could win those close games that we lost last year and would ended up winning 7 or 8 games....I didn't think we'd win 11 tho and of course we haven't yet but we might...anyway you look at it is been fun to watch our team play again...last year was horrible.

Ozzy rules!!

And just to think....4 months ago there were tons of members doubting we could reach 10 wins or the playoffs because 'it just doesn't happen very often.'
