They might win 4 division games this year alone. Assuming they win 3, you're asserting that this year's team, with the NFL's 11th ranked offense, goes 1-9 outside of the division to that schedule? Who would they have lost to, Cleveland or San Francisco at home? I mean, come on guys. The level of hyperbole on this website is a little ridiculous sometimes.

 

That wasn't quite what I was saying.... I was not saying "this year's team" I was saying the level of performance we have had this year, particularly on defense would mean bad news next year on that schedule. I don't think we can take for granted that we are going to win 3 division games next year. This team has to take a major leap defensively in the off-season because if it performs the way it has this year 20th will look like a decent ranking by this time next season.

 

The season is over though... I am looking on the bright side now and saying the defense will get better. Still as I sit here today and look at that schedule I think going better than 8-8 is gonna be tough sledding.

Pray on.

i don't pray about anything. i think the defense will be better and the offense will (hopefully) be close to what it was this year. if that happens,i see 10 wins next year ...a lot easier than i could this year.

 

the obstacles are:

1. not losing the left side of our line to free agency. and improving the right side.

2. taylor not improving. a lot of people talk about him getting better as a foregone conclusion, but i think it's far from certain.

 

i don't consider coaching a huge obstacle. we get the same level of coaching as at least 80% of the league.

If Shady's suspended for the first few games...6-10

Agree. if shadys suspended for less then 4 games maybe a Brady-esqe weasel into a 2 game suspension. 10-6 or 8-8 at worst. Also depends who we play in the 1st 6 games but, the NFL always screws us on the schedule anyway.

That's a really tough schedule. I know that a lot can change but even the traditionally bad teams like Jax & Oakland are getting better. At 1st glance it looks like 5-3 at home and 3-5 on the road.

I've thought of this since the schedule came out. This year we barely cracked 8-8 against the AFCS and NFCE. The two worst divisions in football. We're going to do better with the powerful NFCW, and always tough AFCN.

 

I've said last month 5-11. We'd better have one hell of a draft since we have no money for free agency. I wouldn't be surprised if we do cut McCoy.
