Odds are they’ll be average. 

[ickmule]

I say they win between 0 and 17 games.

[OldNorthPowell]

11-6

[Varking]

I’d like 9 wins. Our past few seasons has been 7, 5, 5, 5, 7. 
 

If I’m being realistic it would be nice to get over that hump.

It may take a minute for the new staff to incorporate their offensive and defensive schemes, but it should be a fun year regardless. 

[L-TownCat]

I say we maintain around 7-8 wins.  If this staff is as good as everyone wants them to be, we could probably scheme another couple wins.

Rookie QBs and wholesale organizational changes don’t usually bring in immediate results.  This feels a little different tho.

[Chad_Cota]

The only thing that worries me about this team is the Dline and oline depth.

[ChuckWag78]

17-0. 

 

It is too early for rational thought, WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!

[trucpfan]

I know one thing we’ll probably open the season in Chicago based off the trade. The nfl does a good job at creating excitement with scheduling not to derail you 11-6 winning the nfc south. The schedule as of now doesn’t look so tough afc south meh… nfc north no rodgers meh I’m looking at teams with strong defenses to give the rookie a hard time probably more line 10-7 

[t96]

10-12 wins

[The Huddler]

10

[TF330]

9-8

[Htarnation4.0]

I see a sweep of our division. Could go undefeated at home so 10-12 wins seems about right. Now if the rookie qb loses a few games for us that could all change, but this team, and coaching staff, should get a few W's
