9-8 Sounds about right.

Since we both went with 9-8, how many of the losses (based off who you believe we will lose to above) will be 1-score losses

I'm not sure TB wins the division. They have Tom B. , but not Bill B. Its hard to repeat and even though they kept everyone they basically stayed pat. Everyone else is getting better. One or Two key injuries and their season can really take a hit (like anyone else's).

I think they are the best bet to win but I don't believe its a sure thing. In that light my predictions are:

NO- 11-6

TB- 10-7

Car- 10-7

Atl- 6-10-1

I think Winston throws for a Billion Yards with only 20 interceptions (35 TD's) this year and their defense and running game carry the Saints to the division title.

We pick off Winston 6 times in 2 games but still only manage to split the series.

The Bucs sweep us

We sweep Atl.

Maybe... im just not so sure about NO... they aren't even 100% confident that Winston is their guy. It was just the best option to keep him seeing as there CAP was terrible and what it would've took to trade up for a QB. They would've drafted a QB if one fell, but one didn't and they still went with one a QB in Ian Book.

TB: Didn't have any holes to really fill. 

ATL: Defense still doesn't scare me

NO: We will see how much was Drew and how much was Sean (not the same but similar us wondering what we'd see in brady without bill)

Edit: (NO) the culture won't change but that locker room sure will. I hope he uses the "eat a W" speech before playing us

At this point, are you convinced that those victories were all Bill Belichick?

we'll do better than last year, if Darnold is even slightly better than Teddy, which is my minimum expectation given the return of CMAC and the improvements we've made + last year's rooks having a year under their belt.

the division winner will be the one team that doesn't hover around .500, most likely TB at this point

we have a shot at a WC spot if we do well against the division

ATL or NO will be the dog, not us

We'll do better than last year based off the improvements we made to the defensive side of the ball.

Darnold's ceiling is definitely higher than Teddy's, absolutely zero question about that. Darnold's floor is much, much, MUCH lower than Teddy's.

Not at all...but I think the system he employed (along with Brady) proved to stand the test of Time. Im not sure about Bruce's system in Tampa.

Bills system seemed to be: i have Tom Brady, go win with what we got

Bruce's system seems to be: whatever you want Tom, we'll bring em in

Well, if NE looks the aame as they did last season, I think you have to start chalking up that NE success to mostly Brady and much less Bill.

That was always going to be the interesting thing about that split, who ended up being more successful.

Yeah- But Tom got the better landing spot. The Bucs were primed with young talent and weapons. Last year Bill pieced together a team. I think for the first time in a long time he was lost a little without Brady. They have really made a lot of moves this offseason. This year will be interesting in deed to see if Bill can be as sucessfull without Brady, (Brady's already made his point on that).

    • I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
    • I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄
    • I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
