Isn’t this one of the reasons why we got rid of Treadwater? We need more than a game manager.

My random bold predictions:

We will beat Tampa Bay.  They aren't going undefeated.   There are normally upsets late in the year with injuries and overconfidence.   Our D gets stronger and Darnold looks his best late in the year.

Last year we were feeling good about the O and worried about the D.  In the end, the D finished strong as the O fell apart.  This year both will do better, but the roles will be reversed.  The D will disappoint against the power offenses in the NFCS.   The Oline will hold, and the O will get their sht together.

We need both.  I think we concluded that Teddy had a limited capacity for explosive plays.  I think the hope is Darnold becomes a game manager until we have to have some magic.

I don't think 3-5 are very bold.

my five

1. cmac stays healthy

2. Tom brady falls off a cliff

3.  Our oline is frustrating all year

4. Joe brady is a miracle worker and molds Darnold into a top 10 qb

5.  ATL will be one of the best teams in the league

[CPsinceDay1]

1. PJ starts for Carolina by week 4.

2. Top ten defense

3. Rhule coach of year, mainly for benching Darnold.

4. Chinn DPOY...after missing out on last year's DROY.

5. Playoffs, with Home field advantage.

Don't care for 5, but I really like the rest of the them.

What's your deal with PJ? 

Its like an obsession.

I take that you believe as I do.  He doesn't have to go out and win the game on his own.  We have plenty of weapons.  As long as he uses them and doesn't try to be the super hero he'll be good.

I do.  That one is from the article and I agree with it.  My response post lists my two predictions. 

I really don't think we are sweeping the Saints and Bucs, even when we were at the top of the division we couldn't do that.  The rest seem at least possible...the the playoffs are a stretch.

Seems some can't separate Bold from Desperate.

Its weird.  CP is going to go all hara-kiri when PJ gets cut in favor of a vet in training camp
