What are the odds of that? Same opponents and thru 11 games, you have beat the same 8 teams and lost to the same 3 teams?

Doesn't seem real. I don't like the outcome either, but get us there I like the chances of getting back better than 2006.

It is pretty remarkable at how comparable the seasons are in terms of opponents and outcomes. I think this team overall is better than the 2006 team, the offense is better and growing, and the defense right now is playing about as good as you can play.
