I agree. The schedule, combined with running a new offense and defense, along with missing talent in some key positions (despite the team being better overall) will prove to be too much to overcome and win more than 6 games.
I'm not sure anyone here knows how much I want to be wrong about that.
Edit: However, I do think the future is rather bright. We don't know all that much about Nix/Gailey yet, but no-nonsense seems to be the approach.
