Call me a homer but if Dak shows little or no rust, he can outplay all 6. Now does that mean we win all 6 games, hell no but I like our chances of getting off to a good start.
Cant wait to see NE outcoach us with a rookie QB.
we will go 0-2 and lose close both times. Difficult first two. But I will remain optimistic even as we lose our first 2. We can easily win 9 of the next 10, or 11 if we lose at New England. But other than @ NE, @ KC and potentially @ MIN if they get their act together, the rest of the opponents are mostly cupcakes. Home against Arizona could be tough. We should sweep PHI, WAS and NYG if we stay relatively healthy. None of them have viable QBs. That's six wins there... Broncos, Falcons, Raiders home on Thanksgiving should be wins. 9 wins. Saints on the road is always tough but post-Brees and hurricane Ida they should have a down year this year. 10 wins. Panthers are a cupcake with no QB. 11 wins. If we split MIN/AZ it's 12 wins. Plenty to win the division and get at least the 3 seed, but we'd have to do better to get the bye.If we split weeks 1-2 we should be sitting pretty at the bye
Don’t say that. If we start that hot we will fizzle out in the end6-0 right out of the gate. I can live with that.
we aren't beating Tampa at Tampa with their ring and banner ceremony, and I also think we lose @ LAC because the Chargers always find ways to sting us every 4 years.6-0 right out of the gate. I can live with that.

0-0-0.What was Darnold"s stat line against the Cowboys in 2018?

on the bright side, I still have us winning 12 games despite the 0-2 start. so there's that. main thing is 6 of those 12 wins are against inferior division opponents and Dak, unlike anyone else we've had, seems to have a knack for dominating the division rivals.Don’t be so sure of that. Either one.
