I'm not sure I'd say unsatisfying, because the season isn't over yet. We could still pull a rabbit out of a hat.
... but I do agree in that we beat a lot of bad teams and lost to a lot of good ones. From that standpoint, it's hard to see how we are definitively improved from last year. Aside from a mostly healthy Dalvin, it's actually pretty easy to say we aren't much improved at all. Kirk and the OL have played better, but the D has been a little worse. Kicking has been better, but returns have been worse.
A playoff berth puts this team over the top but an upset win would be awesome!!
