I don't think we can match the 11 wins from last year... I'm thinking 8 or 9. And we lose a lot in the next outgoing class, so this might be a last shot at the payoffs for a while.

So...nailed it on 9 wins and squeaking in. We again start out really cold, and heat up as the season goes on. Maybe that's from starting and playing so many young players?
Back to -16 turnovers this year. Hales went from 6 picks to 24...ouch. We're not good enough to overcome those numbers – I'm actually surprised we eked out a wild card. We did get a win and then gave mighty 15-1 Detroit (?!) all they could handle, once again. Can't be too upset about the season, really.
