thats what you get when everyone else in your division had a winning season last year.

If we get Samuel or some other top notch CB along with Okoye, I say bring it mother fugers!

Honestly with a rookie QB and new coach if we get 6 wins it will be a great start

they need to let us into the playoffs 6-10, just off general principle.

Dont put any stock in that, its based off of last year, and the NFL varies from year to year, don't believe the hype.

Agreed. Teams go from first to last and last to first every year.

Lots of things change in a season. Plus a lot of teams get hot and cold. I've looked at the schedule and I'm not that intimidated. Green Bay and Tampa are probably going to be the toughest opponents, then Atlanta after that. But those are mostly divisional opponents. So what else is new.

Means we have to go the hardest out of anyone in the NFL, lets get this sh*t moving.

[jtnc]

No poo.

[CarolinaKid704]

Look at Week 1 - Week 11. Then look at Week 12 - Week 17. All in all doesn't look like a back breaking schedule. We should be fine.

Yep, Tampa, Atlanta, and New Orleans all finishing with good records last year dives that number. No other division really finished with records like the NFC South.... And their SoS is lower because they get our win loss record twice.

Yep very true. And also it could be MUCH MUCH worst.

Since we finished last we get Washington and Arizona (Not Philly, Dallas, NYG, Seattle, St. Louis like the others in our division)

We also get the NFC North, which I could be worst if we had the NFC East.

Finally we get the AFC South, which could be worst if we had the AFC North.

Do you get the feeling that something special is about to happen this season? The players seem to be projecting a lot of confidence for a team coming off a 2-win season. It is almost like they know something we don't. I think they are excited about Cam. I think they are excited about the support from JR. TD is back and Otah looks good. Heck, Duke Robinson looks to be in good shape. It is in the air. I expect 5-6 wins, but this could get fun. How good can we be with good QB play?
