Solid wins against the Rams and Colts, so I stand corrected there.
Still a lot of chaff in that record (wins against Bengals, Chargers, Dolphins, Bengals again and flailing Browns, not to mention a game against AZ and the schizophrenic but probably bad Jets).
But if they can get to 10 wins by taking one of the 2 games against the Ravens and Bills, that's a pretty legit season. Now if they just manage to go 9-7 by beating the Cardinals and Jets...well that's a sort of like that 2010 Chiefs squad that went 10-6 by picking on reeruns. They managed a win against a solid 9-7 Chargers team, a .500 Jags team, a couple of forgettable 7-9 squads and then 6 wins against 4-6 win slop.
You figure the Rams might qualify as the 9-7 Chargers, the Colts as the .500 Jags and then the rest of their schedule as the 4-6 win slop and well....they haven't really done much that Charlie Weiss and crew didn't manage. And that didn't mean Weiss and Haley could coach - it just meant that sometimes schedule means more than anything else.
