For me, where we are, any wins will be great/a bonus, while I can live with any losses as long as there's a feeling of moving forward, and we don't completely drop our bundle.
I feel that any real evidence of any advance is going to come later in the season (injuries permitting), where not only will we have more games into young bodies, but some interesting players coming back from injury (Garland, Morton, Tapscott, Blease etc.).
It would seem utterly realistic to me to believe that we'll do better than last year. We basically haven't lost anyone, but everyone else is a year older and wiser, and we've added a few useful pickups.
But ...
