11-5 is my prediction. I believe the defense will be leaps and bounds better than that abomination we fielded last year just off of health alone. We are winning the NFC east.

It's not only the players.

Will our "trainee" HC finally get some basic things right & not cost the team? Million dollar question..who is Garrett going to out coach this season?

That time of the year has come again where those of us that proclaim to be all knowing predict how many wins we're going to see in the upcoming year. Feel free to toss your name in the fire. Come one come all.

Based upon my predictions below, our record will be 7-9. We will enter the bye week at 5-5 and finish up on a weak note. Have to revise my 8-8/9-7 down this year. Nothing to this point gives me the level of confidence that says we will sniff any hint of playoffs this year. Hoping we make a splash in the draft and keep Johnny F in Texas.

Heath Evans just penciled us in as an easy win when determining whether Arizona would make it to the playoffs or not. When he got to us his exact words were "it doesn't matter where they play this game". That kinda validates my week 9 prediction.

I don't see so tough a schedule I'll predict 9 and 7. The Eagles might be tough and win the division.
But we sneak into the tournament.

Therein lies the crux of the issue. Our defense is unreliable. We are going to have to have a seriously special draft to really shore up the necessary skill and depth to allow Marinelli to make his mark. We desperately need to move from the team that has to outscore everyone week in and week out to the team that just has to bust 25-30 to get the W. That will only come with massive improvement on the defensive side of the ball. It's really a catch 22 for Jerry and people like me that salivate over the possibility of drafting Manziel.

You draft him and you have probably given up your chance to get a real plugger in the middle of that defensive line.

I agree about the defense.

The offense is a playoff caliber offense. It's not perfect and I'd like to feature the run game more, but we have the talent to be a playoff team on that side of the ball.

It's all about the defense. Hopefully we can catch a break and stay healthy for a change. Hopefully we can add some talent on defense through the draft. Anything that can happen or be done to make this defense serviceable will make a world of difference.

By definition wouldn't that also apply to us tho?

no, umm, how can i explain this one team has a coach and coaches who knew what they were doing, who knew what to get out of the players, and how to play to their strenghts. We have fans on the sideline. Did Marinelli try his heart out, yes he did. Did Callahan do good with the line, yes he did. did i have us not making the playoffs, yes i did. why, because i knew dallas would not take advantage of their strenghts, and watched other teams do what they could have chosen to done.

When the giants did it. you knew, they knew they were going to play to their abilities. If Mannign was good at throwing 3 yards, the giants would throw three yards. If the giants knew they could run forward, they ran their best runner. when they needed 5 yards, they got 6. The mentality beat us more than anything else, but it was the Giants and other teams turning their mentality around.

Oh man a Bad News Barrett reference. That has to be a CZ first. On a side note I'm glad he is back in the ring again.

You cannot hedge your bets by saying "you can see a team turn it around that looked done" then in the same breath say that "we cannot do the same when we look done even tho another team did the same". The Giants had lots of breaks that year to help them get to the playoffs as well. I believe we are doing things the right way and it will reflect this year.
