Realistic Expectations for this season | Page 14

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?

No QB, very average WR's, no pass rush, s**tty oline, and a first year coordinator who used to tutor jim hostler.

When the front 7 can't generate pass rush by themselves. Though creative blitzes might help, our personnel seems to lack someone that can "1 on 1" match ups.

Also quite possibly one of the worst starting safties in all of the NFL and an extremely overpaid yet extremely average cb in Nate! No qb, an average o line, ok recievers! However we do have great rbs and linebackers! These are just a few reasons why we aren't good. I'm as big of a fan as anyone but let's get real we've been a joke for the last 6 years and until we get a qb and good d line we will be average for years to come! Also our owners suck

We have a good chance at a winning season. I don't care about the what ifs and this could happen--come on guys--nows the time to start believing and talking $hit to fans of the other team.

Football begins for real!

Time to start enjoying the season.
