Not that this means a hill of beans, but national perception is always interesting sport.

[jobberone]

Yah we win.

 

[Vanilla2]

Only 10 wins?

 

[Joe Realist]

It wont end that way. It will come down to the last game of the season. Eagles vs. Cowboys. One team finishes 8-8.

 

[Bullflop]

I think the Giants might be more of a threat than expected if their new coach commands their respect.

It should be a very interesting season looming ahead . . . the Commanders may not be a pushover either.

 

[Direwolf63]

Well that's a relief. Now we don't have to play the games. Let's go straight to the Wild Card game.

 

[BlueNSilver88]

Cowboys 12-4.

 

[pacy]

Cowboys 10-6
Commanders 9-7
Giants 9-7
Eagles 4-12

Nah we aren't going 8-8 or 9-7

I think 10-6 is a reasonable projection until we see exactly what Elliott can do in the NFL. If he's great, we're a 12-4 team.

I don't see how this team wins 12 games with this defense. No pass rush. Holes all over the back end. To get to 12 wins, you have to make numerous assumptions regarding the defense. Assumptions based on no evidence.

This is a more talented defense than what was here in 2014, and it's an easier schedule.

This defense is better (on paper) than our 12-4 team in 2014...

Well you HOPE the schedule helps. And you HOPE this alleged more talented defense will be better when the bullets start flying. But that's all it is....hope.

Yes. Paper is a wonderful thing.

 

[John813]

They like the number 6 and 10.

Same exact defense as 2014......

Minus George Selvie, Jeremy Mincey, Bruce Carter, and Nick Hayden

Plus Cedric Thornton, Sean Lee, Mo Claiborne, Byron Jones, Charles Tapper, Maliek Collins, Randy Gregory, Benson Mayowa, and David Irving. (And a long shot at Jaylon Smith by playoff time.)

 

[reddyuta]

Eagles are not winning 6 games, Giants are too low imo.They got their DL fixed and should outset secondary problems

 

[StarBoyz83]

It's be close. Somebody will win the division by one or 2 games.

Lee, Claiborne, Jones, Gregory and Irving were on this defense last year. And they were dreadful.

Tapper and Collins are complete unknowns. Mayowa is a flyer. He's done nothing to date. The Raiders, who have tons of salary cap space, were fine in letting him walk.

However I do like the Thornton signing.
