I'll say somewhere between 7-9 and 9-7. It mostly depends on how we do in close games, Carolina went like (rough guesses here, bear with me) 6-1 during close games 2 years ago and went 2-6 last year. I ain't saying we're on the Panthers level but those close games will be the difference. I'm still not sold on the D and I think we will be off to another slow start given the offensive regression. We should pick it up by midseason and hopefully finish strong but it ain't gonna be fireworks out the gate.

well there are a few of us who think this team is not ready for prime time..as far as a true fan I've been a fan since 1969 so whatever...I just am tired of thinking we are ready to be a ABOVE AVERAGE 80% chance of making playoffs when in fact we are not. We fumbled the QB negotiations ..we fumbled the Scotty deal..we don't look to smart with the Doctson pick..most of the fan base HATES the owner. The home field advantage has been deemed not so much of a advantage..The best players on team..T Williams already been suspended for drugs..Reed can't stay healthy..Cousins can't or won't sign long term deal..we lose our top 2 Wideouts..we have a brutal schedule..so excuse me if i don't think this years team is not going to win division title. This year Im going the opposite approach Im convincing myself this team is not good..that way IF they start winning I will be happy..IF NOT then its what i thought all along and I won't be disappointed.

this is always tough to separate my homerism from my analytical side

Positives:
good draft, with some awesome talent
good position coaches: Tomsula , Callahan, Gray
solid TE's
got more athletic at ILB & S
Hopkins looked solid in pre-season

Unknowns:
how big is the void the McVay depature will leave on scheme
Gruden calling plays (he was 4-12 the last time he did that)
how much of Kirk's success was related to Djax & Garcon?
Manusky's more aggressive scheme - will it really work?
Do we have a true kick returner on the roster?

Downright Negatives:
Never seriously addressed the NT position
freaking run blocking still sucks
Dalls & NYG were better than us last year and Philly looks improved

Too many unknowns for me to feel good, especially after not seeing any life during the pre-season.

So, for those reasons...I'll say 7-9

with the breaks... 10-6
without the breaks...6-10

We're still not strong up the middle on either side on the lines, that's my biggest concern. I think the offense will be just as good stat wise. I think our defensive back 7 will be way better. If the middle of the D can hold up and our red zone scoring improves we'll be pretty damn good.

I want guards, centers, and nose tackles drafted in 2018.

LG and NT should be a priority. I think my guy "Roulliiaaiire" will turn out to be a nice pick !

Yeah, for this year, I hope Chase is good enough to start at center, and Long can bump to left guard.

I don't like the starting LG, C combo of Lavaou and Long. But we need better depth at both positions, I want good backups too, like we have at LT.

So, for those reasons...I'll say 7-9IMO 9-7 or 8-8 would be a solid season. We still lack talent on def. Esp secondary. Norman is the only guy we csn rely on. Breeland sucks, cravens is always hurt, DJ looks solid but AZ let him walk so ehh.

5-11, just do not see much to look forward to. if we fail,it is stupid to let the madness continue next season.
