I think we split with the saints, split with the Bucs and lose to the falcons on the road. 
 

I think we win one of the nfc west games but I’m not sure which one. I’ll go Seattle just for the heck of it. 
 

leaves us at 8-9 on the outside looking in, but a respectable season put forward by Dan and Dave in year two of a rebuild. 
 

This season will be a “what if” for a while especially given the two winnable games that were dropped in the first two weeks. 

The Jaguars beat the 49ers and the Chiefs after us. Not sure I would say that was a winnable game even if Young didn't turn the ball over.

8 and 9 but if this team had an even average qb they would be a threat in the playoffs.

Saints - I see a win here.  Kamara has been banged up, their speed is gone with Shaheed, Shough is a rookie.  They could pull it off if their D holds us under 15.

Falcons - Falcons have been a pure hot/cold team this year.  Beating the Bills and getting swamped by our squad.  There's a a chance they fire back on their home turf.  Toss up.  

49ers - I think this is winnable depending on Purdy/Pearsall.  They've been rotating through injuries nearly every week.  Minus a very healthy CMC this year.  Another toss up.

Rams - Rams are damn good but they're a team that can be caught in off weeks.  Although, I don't see that happening.  Not the best matchup for us.

Saints V.2 - Another winnable

Bucs - Division, anything is possible

Seahawks - If they continue playing this way, could be ugly.

Bucs - Division battle but they could have it wrapped up by this point and could be a W.

-

I see 3 games that I have a very hard time seeing us win (Seahawks 1 of the Bucs, and the Rams)

That makes best case, a 10-7 season possible.  Probably not enough for the playoff given the NFC this year.

A reasonable expectation is 3 wins from this bunch and we end up 8-9.  Would hate to see 7-10 or worse.  We're trending up and have guys that are improving.

13-4

Predicted 4-7 wins, sticking to that prediction.

I think we should get to 8. Predicting weeks out, is subject to change too much with injuries etc for either team. 
I said 6 last year, showing that despite my Bryce pessimism I am generally slightly optimistic.

If the Saints weren’t a divisional opponent I’d say we should sweep them. It is hard to beat a division rival twice. 

I really don’t care that much the biggest issue to me is that we get some clarity on our roster moving forward.
