season Record Prediction

You must be worried as hell about the Bears, then. They've got no NFL quality RB and Rex Grossman.

Very worried.

[Neusch23]

I will make a decison after the draft and the Mini Camps.

Right now I see us around 8-8 or 7-9.

If we do pick up Moss, and he looks like he could have a break out year (lets take a throw away from the Raiders every year) then we might be able to make some noice because I think we play our eaiser games at home.

We will squeeze some wins out on the Road as teams take us for granted.

Don't etch my perdictions into stone just yet.

Very worried.

Better be. Grossman is a scrub at best.

I say 9-7, maybe 10-6 if the team can stay healthy. Wildcard berth, but lose a close one on Wildcard weekend.

Last year you were wildly positive at 11-5 / 10-6

and now this year - THAT conservative?

OK. May I ask why 6-10?

Last year I thought we could go 11-5 or 10-6 not because of how good we were, but how bad our opponents were. This season I think our schedule is just much tougher:

I think we win at home against:

Detroit
Minnesota
Washington
Carolina
Oakland

I think on the road we'll beat:

Either Detroit or Minnesota but not both.

and that's it.

Our other road games are against:

Chicago
Dallas
New York
St. Louis
Denver
Kansas City

That's **** brutal. If neither squad is missing any key pieces (like KC missing Johnson or the Rams missing Jackson), I don't see us winning a game against those teams because they're simply a lot better.

A couple of those teams that are supposed to be good will suck. Have no idea which ones. Just happens every year in the NFL. Either injuries, chemistry gone wrong, age or a batch of bad gatorade.

Yep

And who knows if a team we think should suck will end up being good.Happens every year where some teams look to have a tough schedule that ends up not being as tough or what looks a weak schedule ends up being tougher than expected.

I'm going 10-6

Absolutely. It cuts both ways. Makes season more interesting as you cannot absolutely predict your record based on your schedule.

[ReasonablySober]

I think you can based upon talent, though.
