He's wrong on this account though. If we had a perfectly average defense last year and perfectly average special teams (we actually had above average teams last year...but the kicking game sucked), we would have won approx. one more than half our games that Brunell started, and maybe a game less than half the games JC started. That's an 8-8 or 9-7 season. The fact that we only won 5 games was half random fluctuations of dumb luck, and half historically bad defense.

Either way, the D and kicking game should improve enough to add 4 wins onto our total from last year. Little luck and we should be a playoff team.
