What Were Your Early Season Predictions? (For Fun)

[Proof]

To all that are trashing this past season: Be honest, if you're this disgusted, what was your early prediction at the beginning of the season? I bet not many said 12 wins and a playoff win. I bet hardly anyone did.
Before the 1st Tampa game, most thought 9-10 wins were reasonable, but after it with a back up probably more like 4-5 wins.
Frustrating and disappointing that we lost, but I thought we would have maybe 10 wins. And maybe squeak in the playoffs by some miracle.

What did you think?
Have a great day!

8-9, no playoffs. after game 1 4-13 in contention for top five pick. season was still a failure.

I get that opinion, some thing it's Super Bowl or bust.
But it's just not a failure if you've at the very least improved from year to year, which McCarthy has.

12-5 and losing to the 49ers in the divisional round.

i'm not sb or bust, and obviously there was progress. it's the way the season ended for me after showing so much promise. i think having zero expectations and them managing to suck me back in resonated even more than usual.

I get it. I just think many (myself included) overestimated Tampa and underestimated the 49ers.
I've been here since Landry had multiple losing seasons, so after the season is over, I have a couple of days analyzing all of the different ways I could vomit. After that (like now) I'm reviewing draft prospects.

I think I said 11-6 and losing 1st game of the playoffs. Might have said 12-5 but not sure.

Exactly.

I'm not sure what the gay skinhead movement has to do with it, but I support you.

Based on moderate preseason expectations by most , 2022 was a success.

But as the season developed I think expectations rose for many fans. And why all of the disappointment.

I always predict zero losses.

12-5 and losing to the 49ers in the divisional round.

Simply amazing. I still don't understand why you're not accepting Kraft's invitation as a consultant for Belichick?

 

[JayFord]

11-6 and divisional round exit

after week 1

9-8 wild card round exit

They wouldn't let him use his crayons or wear a helmet.

..after Dak went down and loss to Tampa.

We were lucky to win 6 games. Instead we made playoffs and won one.

Next year, fares better.

Moral victory. Choke session. False hope. Bad gm decisions. Rinse and repeat

 

[Hennessy_King]

I thought we would go 8-9 or 9-8. This front office butchered this team in the offseason and sat on over $20m in cap space and then dumb fans want to blame the qb.

 

[KJJ]

Prior to Dak being hurt in the season opener I thought we would win 9-10 games. When he got hurt and a timeline was given for his injury I thought we would be lucky to win six games. I also thought Philly would win the division entering the season. I felt they did more during the offseason.
