It's a monumental task to completely change both the offense and defense in the same year, not to mention, all the other ancillary aspects of the coaching style and expect anything better. Throw in the nearly impossible schedule and I'm actually impressed with how well they played. I was expecting at least one or two embarrassing blowout losses to go along with the 6-6 record before the season started. It's just how things are when you play such a tough schedule under a new regime.
