2026 Schedule. My goodness

I'm glad we're facing a #1 schedule. If Bryce regresses and sucks again we should be sitting pretty in what should be a much better QB draft class. Time to sink or swim little guy.

My prediction: He'll look really good through 3 or 4 games, and then have a season-ending injury. So the question will still be hanging in the air. Come draft day, half will say, "We have too many other needs, Bryce looked good enough before he was injured." The other half will say, "The sample size was too small to prove it, we should take advantage of this QB class!" 

It's so on-brand for the kind of crap that would happen to us to keep the Bryce saga dragging on and on...

This place is going to be entertaining if we look like ass in the preseason again.

When have we not looked like ass in the preseason... Easily going on a decade of looking completely lost in the preseason

The best scenario is that he absolutely balls out and erases all doubt. I just don't see it happening. 

been saying this since he was drafted and sitting through the unconditional Bryce lovers' reassurances

I think it’s possible we have more wins away than at home next year

Do I go to Minnesota or Cleveland thats my question.  Maybe both but we will have to see the travel budget after the world cup this summer.

Way to early prediction: 9-8 better roster but harder schedule. Saints have easier schedule and win division at 10 or 11 wins.

Win:

VS New Orleans

@ Atlanta

VS Tampa

@ Cleveland

@ Minnesota

VS Chicago

VS Cincinnati

VS Detroit

VS Baltimore

Lose:

@New Orleans

VS Atlanta

@ Tampa

@ Green Bay

@ Philly

@ Pittsburgh

VS Seattle

VS Denver

It’s been a while since we beat some of these teams, so I could see us getting lucky like we did in Green Bay maybe in Pittsburgh or Philly. Chicago will be interesting, I’m not scared of Baltimore, Minnesota, Cincinnati, Cleveland, etc.

Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

I doubt we win 9 games with dowdle leaving and Icky hurt

 

Im really curious to see what vegas thinks our win total over under is

I feel this answer is easy, 100% Minnesota. Ask @TheBigKat he's been there and Im betting he had a great time football-wise.

Both feel like good chances at wins but cleveland has a new stadium in the works and I would prefer to visit older stadiums as there are plenty of new stadiums to see.

Honestly Ive heard great things about Viking stadium, its "new" and one of the first "modern" themed one. I know there are YouTube's vids all about it. Its cost was 2 billion in 2016, all sorts of crazy methods and wind this, snow. Other team owners have visited and copied many of the ideas that happened there, it was the first on many fronts.

It's a lie about 1 billion, at the end was either 1.7 or 2. good luck!

I think they'll see last year as an oddity in 1 score wins and put our close game win total back down to would be average which is 6. After losing Icky and Rico, I think they drop us to 5.5. Our offense was not impressive and I doubt Vegas is as infatuated with Bryce as the media and Carolina is.
