Does anyone else think we could win the South?

If CMC stays healthy then yes. My gut tells me this is the year he plays every game and breaks the NFL season all-purpose yards mark of 2,696 yards. He is literally the cornerstone of this offense and when he’s out there he’ll make everyone around him look like stars. 

Thats bold, but if anybody can approach those numbers its CMC.  Assuming he plays all or most all of the games this year, I am predicting 2300 total yards and 20 TDs.

I so want this to be true......

Definitely. We have a complete team with talent at every position group with the coaching to back that up. Top 10, maybe top 5 defense this year. Offensively, I think Mcadoo will finally show the league what we can do. DJ and Robby are gonna feast this season, and I’m betting Shi Smith goes absolutely beserk. Plus TMJ in the cut. McCaffrey staying healthy is a must, the O-line can protect (finally) and Baker is not only talented, but he’ll light a fire under the team. Something we’ve been missing since Cam. Keep Pounding baby!!!!

We really got people who can't even acknowledge that we could win the South this year?  🤨 this is a pretty mild claim.  The competition for the South on paper should be the weakest it has been in several seasons.  Should we be favored to win the South?  No...but could we win the South?  Definitely, and it wouldn't exactly take that many things to go our way.

Of course I believe....injuries..meaning lack of...are the key.  Baker is out to prove.  He has weapons and an improved oline.  D-linebackers seem to be better than expected..Wilks will have a nasty secondary.   Panthers could be the surprise team.

This

We have to play the same non-divisional schedule.  LAR, Sea, Ariz, SF, Clev, Balt, Cinn and Pitts) This IMO is the key to the season.  We need to, at minimum, match the W/L as our divisional rivals.

We have NYG and Detroit NFCE and NFCN 2021 last place teams. Gotta win these two winnable games.

Finally Denver last place in AFCW 2021, which is the new 17th game. Another winnable game.

If we can beat Atl 2x and split with TB and N.O. that would give us a 4-2 mark in the NFCS.

Our divisional rivals have a much tougher schedule (hard to believe) than we do.  If we could go 3-0 against these teams the chances of our divisional foes sweeping are much higher than ours. 

New Orleans has Minnesota in London, Philly in Philadelphia, and LAR in NO.

TB has Dallas in Dallas, GB at home and KC at home.

Atl has Washington in DC, Chic at home and LAC at home.

As you stated health will be a factor.  IF our core, including CMC, can stay healthy it might be ugly but we could win the division.   And as they always say.  Once you're in, Anything goes.

 

OF COURSE I AM THE ETERNAL OPTIMIST

I think we can win it - but not without some Help..

and by Help - I mean an injury to someone key on the Bucs..

basically, what the AFCE spent over a decade arguing about the Patriots.  Well, if Brady got hurt we totally have a shot.

It was very clear Brady, especially at the end of the season, was not the same Brady.  

Greatness cannot overcome age.  His time has come.  

AFCE used to say the same type stuff.  For years.  The downfall was always clearly on it's way.  

It's clear Tom Brady made some pact w/ the devil.   I spent like 7 years predicting the next year was surely to be the year with him.

I hear you.  This is his year especially with a depleted oline.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm not saying he should be working in the NFL. He did deserve some criticism as DC there. But Kyle Shanahan certainly did use him as a convenient scapegoat. Now there is no one left to throw under the bus. Anyways he could find his way back to the league in some capacity who knows. But he's old school and in the NFL you either adjust or you get left behind. All the same no hard feelings toward him he's a good guy.

      Is it too early to lock up Horn to a long term deal?

      By CRA · Posted

      he has barely suited up for 50% of our games.  It matters pending how much of our cap and resources go that way.  If he cost in the ballpark of a Surtain? No thank you.  Let someone else  And as far we know what happens when we let talent walk away or trade them…..that’s a mixed bag.   should we of paid Norman, Bradberry at CB? They probably had earned the right to be called better than Horn at that moment of the decision.  Do we regret that? Do we regret Star walking? Can take it back to Spoon.  Flip side is probably Peppers.

      Bryce Young what a crazy statement

      By frankw · Posted

      We need to get better in the redzone. And yes that is an issue that involves all the moving parts. Oline receivers QB and playcalling. But Bryce himself has to lead the charge on that or surely we could face another blowout in one of these upcoming games. Every team no matter how good they are is going to face an opponent that imposes their will on them and requires the same in response. Those are the games where we have got to capitalize on drives. Honestly I get the sense that the Chiefs on some level overlooked us.  So while I am pleased we were as competitive as we were it certainly remains to be seen if this was the beginning for something new or just an anomaly. I think that's a perfectly fair take at this juncture.
