I can't blame everything on Gruden and I won't. I can point out so many adverse, unwinnable situations that Gruden has had to take this team through - things beyond his control. But, I wont say he's totally innocent either. This team has to have 10 wins this season. I believe that. I think that is the only way Gruden keeps his job.

Me personally I think Gruden has to make the playoffs in order to keep his job. 10 wins and missing the playoffs might still keep him safe. 9 wins would have to be a big discussion. Less than 9 wins, no way. Most of his talk over the summer i took as "we are primed to win right now". Even telling Alex that we aren't building the team around him, we've already built the team and just need him to lead it. Like all we were missing was the QB.
