Looking at the schedule...

[Drift Reality]

Just to tack on to my last point, we have stayed relatively healthy and played near mistake-free football - AND we have been winning by small margins.

Now the latter point has a lot to do with execution but the injuries issue is a bit more haphazard.

So what happens when things start going wrong for us, as they inevitably will at some point over the 16-game season?

That's another question that needs to be considered before we start claiming '7-1'.
