Switch the numbers around to 9 to 7 and finish the year with a SB win like Giants did against Patriots. This is not going to happen but sometimes even a dream can become a reality

7-10. Clearly still a year away, next year with the first cap space in a long while and another strong draft (hopefully on the O-Line) we will be a pretty great team everywhere except QB, and it sounds like Tepper has the gumption to figure that out quick

[panthers55]

Best case scenario is 10-7. Worse case is 7-10.  The factors to me are injury and health. If we stay relatively healthy, Darnold doesn't get hurt, the rookies like Horn don't hit the rookie wall and we don't cave late due to a tough schedule we should win 10 games.  If we get hit hard with injuries and our young guys don't grow up fast we could end up on a losing streak like last year.  Guys like CMC and Darnold are crucial to our success as their backups are big drop offs in talent. In other positions the next guy up will have to play inspired. We will need some winning this year to convince players the process is good and Rhule knows what he is talking about.

Wait...I think CRA said 7 to 9 wins.   Not the record being 7-9.

Am i right, @CRA?

[rayzor]

I think we go

4-2 against NFCS

3-1 against NFCE

1-3 against AFCE

Beat the Texans

Lose to the Cardinals

Beat the Vikings

Finish 10-7

Get wildcard and win one playoff game.

Then 2022 Superbowl run

Yeah, 7 to 9 wins is my window.   Ball bounces our way a little then we get to 9.  It doesn’t, I think the floor with some adversity is about 7. 
 

Too much talent not to get to 7.  OL too weak IMO to get much further than 9. 

[Proudiddy]

I'm bucking the trend here...  I'm going 10 wins minimum.

The offense will struggle, but find it's footing.  I don't expect Darnold to be an all-pro, but if he finds a rhythm and comfortability, which he absolutely will to some degree compared to what happened in NY, he will be solid.  Once he gets comfortable, the supporting cast are gonna do really well and I expect Robby to either match last year's production or surpass it, and I expect DJ to smash last year's production.  CMC will be back to business as usual and push for OPOY.

All while the offense is finding their rhythm, the defense will come out as real slobber knockers from day 1.  They won't truly get primed until a few weeks in, but they will be the best defensive unit we have fielded in years, and in many early games, they will carry our team to wins as the offense sputters a bit until they get in their groove.

Sounds good to me.

Good take, but I think the OL is going to be better than the concensus...  especially if Brown, Daley, and Christensen get in early.  I'm hoping Miller's absence gets that ball rolling the first couple of weeks with Daley stepping in.

My window is glass, I see through it to your soul and you are WRONG.  Either 11 wins or 6.  No in between.

And a possible Jameson Morgan appearance week 16-17.

or we have a most interesting record of 8-8-1 

 

[Stuart Smith]

I like a 10 win season prediction. Hoping no major injuries or Covid issues. I think it is reasonable.
