We'll see. It's gonna take more than half a year for Oakland to prove that they aren't pretenders.
No doubt. But there's nothing wrong with wishful thinking. And we
did beat Pittsburgh at Heinz field last year. It's not inconceivable that we could win the rest of our games besides Indy. And it's not inconceivable that we could lose the rest of our games. And there's a lot of room in between those two extremes.
Granted, though, I won't be talking any trash until we can string together more than three games in a row.

In other news, I think the Bucs have set themselves up well for a nice finale. The remaining schedule: host Carolina, at San Fran, at Baltimore, host Atlanta, at Washington, host Detroit, host Seattle, at New Orleans.
I think they'll probably beat Carolina and San Fran, probably beat Washington and Seattle, probably lose to New Orleans. In my mind, Atlanta and Detroit could go either way.
Meaning: they'll finish between 9-7 and 11-5. Pretty impressive for a team that finished 3-13 last year. But who knows? On any given Sunday, anything could happen.
