We ended up last. 

Preseason, ESPN had us 22nd

Which shows these Preseason Power ranking are not to be taken seriously.

I mean, it took the ball bouncing our way to help us squeak out those 5 wins last year. 

We caught both the Jets and Texans with rookies making their debut starts.   

Saints were displaced by a hurricane, injured and didn't have most of their coaching staff.    

Cardinals we got to face their backup QB and had the injection of Cam into the universe mojo. 

The Falcons had their #1 WR walk away the morning of the game (which shreds their game plan) 

Hard to project any team will finish last as generally in season events will help sort that out.  But I think another top 10 pick is clearly in our future. 

 

As I reread this.  It sounds like you'er making excuses for every team, but us.

I’d put the jets, jags, texans, seahawks and falcons and probably bears below us. Beyond that I wouldn’t argue for us against anyone

List the HC/QB tandems on our schedule where you think we have the edge on both.   Using Sam as the QB.  

then when you are done with that tell me the teams where we at least have a clear edge at either HC or QB.  On our schedule. 

which HC on our schedule is Rhule clearly better than? Which QB is Sam clearly better than.  

I don’t see how we aren’t picking in the top 10 again. But I’ll listen to an argument.

We had a lot of injuries last year.   Do you think any teams beat us that wouldn't have without our injuries? 

Apparently all of  their excuses are valid.  Are ours?

We’re 100% picking in the top 10 again. The question is if it’s top 10 or top 5.

*and a healthy CMC playing out of his mind doesn’t translate to wins with bad QB play.  We already know that.   It’s why it’s a QB league.

Your post was a listing of excuses for every team we beat.

This is the post I replied to. 

Why list excuses for every team we beat?

I'm not convinced Burns is going to have a great season this year.

Teams know they can run on him now, and without a guy like Reddick taking attention away from him, he might not be as effective as a pass rusher either.

He's 250lbs, they've known they can run on him since his rookie season.

it used to be whenever we were predicted by the media to fail we’d upset and kick ass as the underdog

now it’s just accurate

when the media is always right about you sucking you’re 100% in Jets/Browns territory

We weren’t and aren’t a very good football team.  How do teams like that win? Generally they need the ball to bounce their way.  And again, it did in our wins.  

So you can’t answer a question?  You just want to get mad when people call Rhule/Sam what they are.
