I think I said it earlier in the year in here (but maybe elsewhere), that with no proper camp & preseason, weeks 1-6 and (maybe even up to 8) will be good teams shaking down and poorer teams working out where they were. Kind of like wishing it were a 10 game season with games 1-6 not counting. AS Chief says over the last 6 games we're 3-3 and I tend to think that's more realistic view of were we sit than the early season games, especially given the turnover at QB. I can't help thinking recent form, in a normal season, shows us to be 1n 8-8 or even 9-7 team. OK, in a proper season the rest of the division would probably be better too. But we seem to be hitting our stride while others are getting only a little better (Giants) or falling away (Cowboys and Eagles). Like the Falcons pulling out wins that wouldn't have been predicted after week 3.

Maybe we're better than our record and deserve to win the division? I don't hold out much hope in the playoffs as we're too weak in places (like WR and TE) but to me we're improving at the right time.
