What fun would that be?

I find it hard to believe that so many people think the Giants, Chargers and the Bengals are going to be better teams than us.  The Chargers have a much better defense but on offense they are worse and you could argue much worse.  The Giants and Bengals are better than us? I don't see it.  They may have a win or 2 more than us because they don't have to play the Bucs or Saints 2 times each, but neither are better teams than what we have right now.

They really have no idea how good or bad our team will be this season.  They are just parroting each other

Hah. Seriously. 2014 we made the playoffs, won a game, played Seattle tough (90 yard pick six was the difference) and had a 5-1 finish. Just because some idiot only looked at our record for the 2015 preview and the injury to KB doesn’t mean our 0-8 finish is being overlooked now. We also won the division with a 7-8-1 record. Two teams in our division this year will likely have 10 wins. I can’t believe I’m even explaining the differences, Lol.

It wasn't just one publication, they all had us anywhere between 19 and 26

Guess the year

24. Carolina Panthers

Week 1 opponent: at Jacksonville Jaguars

What's good: Luke Kuechly remains one of the best linebackers in football, and the Panthers nabbed another good one in first-round pick Shaq Thompson.

What's bad: Kelvin Benjamin tore his ACL in the preseason, leaving Cam Newton with an even smaller set of receivers. Newton and the defense will have to carry this team.

Oh wow. Did you really do that? I mean, really?

There's a key factor there that's missing this year. Can't quite put my finger on it.

get real

Also, I saw an advanced metric sight that gave us the #1 toughest schedule in the league. That plus all the rest leads me to believe we will be picking top 2 or 3. Hope I'm wrong but the writing is on the wall.

Pretty much every mock draft and Vegas list has us ahead of Jax, Washington and Cincinatti. That seems about right. Why it's possible that everyone who is throwing around worst ever accolades, outsiders don't tend to agree.

At that point you are just splitting hairs.

If we are in that bottom five group it is all a little to the left or a little to the right. That is the difference between 2 wins and 6 wins.
