If you look at last years results we easily could have been 9-7. 10-6 if you considered the Seattle game winnable. That was with a revolving door at QB and imo a lesser talent pool on the roster. Thats the optimistic me. The pessimistic me thinks I say the same thing every year.
It's a fine line in professional sports, especially the salary cap leagues.
The NFL and NHL especially are brutally tough on teams being able to sustain and stay in playoff spots. The margin between winning and losing is extremely small.
MLB and NBA are getting there but still favor the big dogs.
So you aren't crazy...the difference between 6-10 and 10-6 can really come down to your schedule and a few clutch plays. The 10-6 chiefs in Reid's first year are the poster child for this. Not a great team but got some early clutch plays to get to 3-0 start. Gibbs v2.0 team that started 3-0 also similar...

Yeah our schedule this year is far from easy so we are going to need to stay healthy from this point on for the most part. We are also going to need to play smart and get lots of those clutch plays to bounce or go our way. Absolutely cannot afford to beat ourselves like we so often do.

I still think best case 7 wins. KC has a lot to prove.
Wouldn't it be awesome if he came in threw for 4,000 yards and 30 TDs?

I'm looking forward to seeing this in the "I was wrong" thread at the end of the season. Still, a fan can dream. I don't think it'll happen this year but it definitely would be nice.

I would be the first to admit I was wrong if he succeeds. To be honest that could happen... but there also might be 25 interceptions to go along with those 30 touchdowns.

He may just do that...
to go along with his 35 INT's.

But here's the thing...those 35 ints will be spread on through only 3 games.

I'm going with 6-7 wins. We are thin at LB, secondary is still a mess, and on the O line Moses and Scherff are young and learning and will make some mistakes.

6-7 wins would be great, imo. 2-3 game improvement is hard to do. My biggest worry is the big plays our D has been giving up even in preseason. That takes the wind out of any team's sails.

The defense was pretty vanilla in the preseason. We also had a few starters out, mainly Kerrigan. I think the pass rush will be better just by adding Kerrigan back to the starting lineup. Im also hoping we do more than just zone with our secondary, which we seemed to stay in for the most part during the preseason.
