Nice post.  I agree that it's unreasonable to expect us to go through the regular season undefeated.   And it would not be surprising that we lost a game we "should have" won.  I'll add a little prediction: throughout the season, we will always be the highest-ranked team of those with the same number of losses.  Thus, if we are one of, say, six teams with two losses, we will be the highest-ranked of those six.

I think it will be very interesting to see how playing time is managed the remainder of this year.  Tara has had a tight rotation of 7 or 8 in recent years, but it sure seems like we have more than 7-8 real contributors.

But really, my main hope is for our injured players to recover quickly and fully, and for no major injuries down the road.
