so it is the same as its always been.
8 wins at best, we are not physical so we will try to run away from people and get cute and fancy with schemes. that works a few times. but sooner or later someone will punch you in the mouth and based upon what we did vs the cowboys when they got physical with us.
Based on what we did in a preseason game? You guys serious? Our schemes aren't cute. Kyle is widely respected for his innovation and is a top offensive mind. Cute is Chip Kelly.
Defensively, our scheme starts with physicality. DBs are to rough up receivers the way Seattle does and the DL is built to be able to shut down the run. Yes we are missing the speed pass rush from the outside and it will cost us at times but it isn't season ruining. Not by itself.
8 wins is not limit for a team that won 6 while losing 5 straight by 3 or less and has made massive improvements in areas (QB, CB ... Etc.). Could we only win 7? Sure. Bad luck, ball bouncing the wrong way, happens in the NFL. But we can also have good luck and win as many as 12.
