So far they've done everything expected of them after beating the Bills which was when they really started to raise some eyebrows. I think playoffs is definitely a realistic goal now, if they can remain healthy. Can't understand the influence of McDaniels, I know we all hated him when he was here but let's be honest, he's definitely miles better than Matt Patricia, Alex Van Pelt, etc. And obviously Vrabel pulls it all together, he's managed to get the most out of some of the disparate talents on the team - they're all synchronized, singing from the same hymn sheet and making each other better rather than being a rabble on the field like they were the last few seasons. It will be interesting to see how long they can keep it up and if they can build enough resilience to absorb the inevitable challenges that will pop up (injuries, bad form, poor execution, etc).
