I think you are putting too much stock into a sample of sixteen games. Anyone who follows the NFL knows that the 2006 standings are going to be a really poor predictor of the 2007 standings.
We aren't a top team and we certainly have issues defensively, and in short yardage offense, but most of the teams we play next year are going to be worse than us and THAT is the key to being a winning team; to be the best team on the field more often than not. Not to have won last year, that's irrelivant.
5-11 doesn't mean crap anymore.
I would say that 9 wins would be the expectation for this team. Any more and they are exceeding expectations, any less and they would be failing to meet them.
