.500 is a bottom line mark it seems.

There are just too many unknowns at this point, Gibbs and co. haven't given the so called experts much to chew on this preseason. If they played the whole preseason the way they did the first qtr of the ATL game I'd be willing to bet we'd see more predictions in the 10-6 and 11-5 range.

I also think we as fans need to be careful with our expectations this year. We have a new staff and a lot of turnover on the roster. There is going to be an adjustment period, how long that will be is yet to be seen.

There are different kinds of .500. If the team shows improvement down the stretch and looks like they are building towards something for next year, I can live with 8-8. If they stumble to that record and underachieve, that's a different story.
