I just hope Crabby comes back and Edwards doesn't get suspended so we can have all of our WR additions in the line up to help Alex get off to a good start. No doubt he will have a better game with Edwards and Crabby in the line up.

1. The talent on this team last year was playoff level talent.
2. Last year, we made zero halftime adjustments from the players' mouth
3. The talent on this team is better than last years
4. The coach appears to be 150% better than last year
5. We looked to have hit on a lot of draft picks this year
6. The other teams in the division have just as much of a learning curve from new coaches or worse QB's than last year

I will be very disappointed if we don't win the division.

Those are some very high expectations for new system, new offense, new defense, new ST, and the same old QB. I would like to win the division and finally attend a playoff game, but I won't be holding my breathe.

Yes but this includes the Rams who have a new offense with a 2nd year QB who wasn't all that great. The Seahawks who have a worse QB than last year and last year's QB was their main reason they made it and won a playoff game. Arizona has a new unproven QB in a totally different system.

I like our chances.

Agreed...I feel the division is ours for the taking. How many games did we lose by a touchdown or less last year? And that was with the worst coaching in the league.

To be true, the other teams in our division appear to be in worse condition than last year. Steven Jackson is still the Rams key cog and played in all 16 games producing his worst year with 3.8 per carry. I also don't see that new OC using him to his full ability in terms of the running game as Denver was near the bottom of the league in rushing attempts and at 3.9 per carry. He's a heavy passing coach and Bradford is going to have a lot on his plate.

Those stats are for 2010. Imagine what the stats will look like this year in new offense, addition of Braylon Edwards, etc

and the Nate Clements interception, turned fumble, turned loss. All because he wanted to score a TD instead of securing the ball

How many games do you guys think we lost because of Singletary and the stupidest coaching in the world? This team has been said to have talent the past couple of years. Now, we will finally use that talent. I wouldn't be surprised if we win 9. We won 8 with Sing/Nolan combo and now the teams in our division look in worse condition than last year.
