Realistic Expectations for this season | Page 11

nickbradley · 2009-08-30T15:52:24-07:00

Looking at our schedule, I see 7 - 10 wins. And I see that as such a big range because there are so many games that are hard to judge -- you don't know how that team is going to perform. The 5 games I see as being the most difficult to judge are: ATL at home @ HOU TEN at home CHI at home ARI at home Out of those, I think the home game against Atlanta could dictate how our season goes. If we win that game, we will go into the bye week on a high note and be geared up and well-rested for 2 road games against Houston and Indy; if we beat Houston that week we may have the momentum to have a shot at beating Indy in Indy. The Chicago game is a Thursday nighter -- and I have no idea how good Chicago is going to be this year. If Cutler plays well, they'll be a 12-win team. If not, maybe 8 or 9 wins. Here's my rough guess for how the season will play out -- 9 wins, a shot at a wild card slot or the division if Arizona plays like Arizona usually does: @Cardinals - L Seahawks - W @Vikings - L Rams - W Falcons - W BYE @Texans - W @Colts - L Titans - L Bears - W @Packers - L Jaguars - W @Seahawks - L Cardinals - W @Eagles - L Lions - W @Rams - W I think we're a better team than Seattle, but they are very tough at home. Thoughts?

If the offense puts up better numbers than the 07 Offense, I'll be happy. But after watching the last 2 preseason games......... maybe that's not a "realistic" expectation.

After watching this preseason, and taking into account the last 5 years, i don't see how anyone could predict we win more than 5 games.

Standard 12 year old response.

Why should he find another team? Because he has a realistic view of this team?

Realistic is 8-8. Last year we were 7-9. Are we that much worse than last year, with Hill starting and Singletary as our couch? This is assuming Crabtree signs.

I support Kalens prediction of 4-12 that is the most realistic expectation on this team with no pass rush, QB, A jimmy hostler OC, and a coach just preach pounding the football and a terrible front office I call for a 4-12 exceeding expectations.

We play the Rams and Seahawks twice. That's 4 wins right there.

You just saw pre-season damn ------ I'll stick with 7-9 or maybe 8-8 baring injuries.

Let's face it our pass rush will be very simular to last season , and our pass blocking probably will be slightly improved without the 7 step drops and Martz. Our run game will be improved and we will see more from our passing offense than what we have seen so far in pre-season. I wouldn't go into the season expecting to see the playoffs but it could still happen.
