We go down two scores here, you can probably stick a fork in it and this season. I think we're looking at 9-7 this year, honestly, which is still much better than those 4-12, 5-11 years.
Problem is going to be that we're going to be in one of the toughest divisions in football for some time, barring some injury to Hags or Whiners QB. With the Whiners, and their running game and D, that might not even matter.
We have some serious concerns still on O line (center and LT especially, if Whit retires). This D, too has some holes - other than Donald the D line is mediocre at best, we need at least two more dominant lbs, and our secondary depth needs work, assuming that this is all we're getting out of Weddle and Christian.
With the cap and no #1s, it's going to be a challenge to stay at this level, and sadly, we're going to have to improve to be in contention.
