That said, if the started out 3-5 then got hot and ended up 10-6 but just missed, I feel most would have viewed that as a successful season.

Perspective indeed.
One reason they jumped out to 6-2 and not 3-5 is because they played IND, SF, ARZ, and the Giants.
So in some cases I think some of those higher expectations were a bit premature. Can't blame anyone for that and this is not criticism, but if you want to be realistic about perceptions, then, it;'s worth mentioning that perceptions may have been made a bit murky because they had an easy early schedule.
And even saying that, the arrow is pointed up regardless. We may disagree on how steep the upward angle is but it's up.
