If they can somehow go 4 of 8 through the first 8 games I will start to believe in this group. 

I guess you would after last year. Some people would have the next 9 games pencilled as a win.

If they have a 4-4 stretch I suspect it would be later when the rookies get more adapted, the offense gets on the same page especially the OL.

i'm sticking with us winning this week and actually fly out of Germany with our 5th or 6th win, but only winning 2-3 after that finishing the season with about 8 wins. 

8 wins would feel like a miracle.

Depends on how the ball bounces and luck of a season. 

Somewhere between 3-5 wins.

Week 1 close win. Go into bye at 6-4 (Ws at Saints, at Raiders, vs Falcons, at Commanders, vs Saints, vs Giants). Go 2-5 after the bye with losses vs Chiefs, at Eagles, vs Cowboys, at Bucs, and at Falcons, but manage to eke out the division at 8-9 (4-2 vs division) because rest of the division is also trash.

Easy enough to predict 4-6 wins and no playoffs, figured I'd try something different.

I’d take the record but that statline out of Bryce would be extremely underwhelming. I’d rather Bryce go 25/10 3800 yards and the defense suck if I had to choose.

No doubt I want more from him, but this is more in line where I expect things to be. If he keeps the mistakes low and efficiency high, he should get a stat line more in line with your expectations in a Canales’ system… much like Baker had.

Don’t know about stats but Bryce proves he’s our franchise QB this year that my projection. Brooks starts killing it down the stretch. And all next offseason will be talk about us needing to add pieces to our defense

just get you a bottle of A1 ready.

You wanna borrow the A1? Just kidding.   You gotta admit. I nailed the first half stats for Bryce.

Congratulations I guess.

This team could legitimately go 0-17.

I take back everything but Leota lol.  Had to bring some optimism before the inevitable product showed its rear.

I don't think anyone had the Bengals losing to the Pats on their bingo card.

Yeah.

Falcons lose the Steelers at home

Bengals to the Patriots

Two huge duds.

I never bought the Falcons being anything so I'm not necessarily surprised by that one but the Bengals losing to the Pats only scoring 10 points is a stunner.

For sure.  Didn't see them losing to the Pats, but I did fear they would be suspect with no BC and after Burrow looked shaky even when healthy last year.  They've got some issues there.
