[QUOTE="Magooch, post: 1080526, member: 17987"] That's pretty much where I land, too. On one hand, if you told me in the preseason we'd have 7 wins (or just 3 losses) by week 12, I'd be perfectly content with that. And as was pointed out earlier today (I think), to be the only team to have NO losses of greater than 7+ points, that's a great thing... ...but, at the same time, each of those losses - by just a field goal - all felt like games where we fell way short of potential. So we can look at 7-3-1 and that's great, but it's also hard to shake the feeling that we really "should" be more like 8-2-1 or 9-1-1. And if we had a loss or two where it felt like we were just comprehensively outplayed by an opponent who was clearly superior to us - it is what it is. I can live with those. But I don't think that's the case. In each of our losses this year it's really felt like we've got in our own way - it's felt like it's as much that we played poorly as our opponent played well. Then you have games like the Bengals, the Cardinals, even the Giants to some extent - where we got the W, but still didn't play particularly great football. And I know - you don't win points for style or for playing "pretty" and all that, I get that. But I guess my point is that - to me, anyways - it just feels like in most our games this year (win or lose) we've left a lot on the table, so to speak. I've said for a few weeks now how it's mildly concerning that it seemed like by far our best football came in weeks 1 and 2 and hasn't matched that level since then. That's still a concern of mine. On the whole, I feel like we have yet to turn in a really "complete" performance, for the most part. (By that I mean a win in which it doesn't have that "points left on the table" feeling. Highly subjective of course) And to be fair you can take that two directions. One is to say that we're just stuck in a spot of "not quite there yet" and we probably have a pretty good idea of who this team is by this point. The other is to say that we've yet to put together a complete performance and are still 7-3-1, in a very good position, and (when/if) we put together a complete performance we'll be all the stronger for it. I can lean both ways depending on the day and game lol [/QUOTE]
