1/4 of the way through the season how many more wins?

[Chukarhawk]

If the D continues its slide into oblivion I see 2 more wins. Panthers and Jets.

 

[FrodosFinger]

Panthers are an automatic W. Seriously not sure about the rest of the games

 

[Scout]

6 to 7 more wins is very doable.

 

[FrodosFinger]

I feel like if this team can fix the small things and get a better game plan defensively then this could be a very scary team but there’s work to do for Hurtt, who I haven’t really been impressed with

 

[Chukarhawk]

6 to 7 more wins is very doable.

IF the defense can somehow go from generationally bad to mediocre maybe. The schedule is getting tougher not easier.

 

[Scout]

Also the Jets are by no means an automatic win because they are a better team than most of the NFC right now. That could change in a month though.

 

[toffee]

6+, for sure, unless major injury hits.

 

[Mizak]

They will win one each from Arizona and the Rams. Panthers yes. Raiders yes. Jets toss up.

 

[Ruminator]

That's clearly a question for the referees. And based on the way they've been calling things in Seahawk games, I think their answer would be, if administered a truth serum, "Well, we're doing everything in our power to see that Seattle never wins another game."

 

[RockinHawks]

I "could" see three more wins... but realistically, maybe more like one or two. Carolina is one that we can get. The Jets are a tough team, no matter what their history says. They're young, hungry, and physical. The Raiders are a toss-up... they have great elements, and on any given Sunday, they can put up some points. I see the Rams and Cardinals getting up for us and playing tougher than they have. The Rams are a team that will probably figure it out and will start to dominate teams.

 

[SNDavidson]

I'm feeling a 9-8 record, I don't think it's possible to play this terribly on defense all year, I feel it more likely that Geno will continue to Geno.

 

[Ozzy]

if I was betting I'd say we finish 5-12

 

[Maelstrom787]

They're gonna win 7 to 9 of em, depending on how well the defense responds.

 

[CallMeADawg]

It's all about the defense. Since they are questionable at best and a dumpster fire as of late, it's really hard to predict.

 

[m0ng0]

I don't see many, but if the D gets better and Geno keeps Genoing up we could get 3 or 4 more?

 

[TwistedHusky]

At the start of the year, I predicted Pete would make this a .500 team.
The offense is much better than I expected, but the defense is much worse.
And the NFC West is much worse.
At the time, .500 didn't make sense but Pete was going to get this team to .500 or close to it. Roster be damned.
Now things look to be shaking out that way. Penny getting hurt is going to be painful. He was a big part of our offensive engine. But Pete will get this team to .500 like it or not.

 

[Fade]

The Saints had their top 3 WRs out, and their starting QB. And they still got boat raced by Taysom Hill.

Goff and a bunch of backups put up 45, only to score 0 the following week.

They will be playing better QBs and offenses, the rest of the way. Pete's defense is ruining another would be awesome season because he can't get it together on his side of the ball.

Sticking with 5 wins. Geno is much better than anticipated, and should be extended, but Pete's defense has never been worse.

 

[Aircrew]

4 more wins: Cards, Raiders, Panthers and the 9ers. We don't win another road game.

 

[Sgt. Largent]

Unfortunately as every season goes along injuries pile up, and for a roster this thin on both sides of the ball I think wins will be few and far between as we get into November and December.

So maybe 3 or 4 at the most?

I know Pete usually gets his defense to play better as the season goes along, but I just don't see it with the personnel we have. So there's no way Geno and the offense is going to be able to score 40+ pts a game to eek out wins. This was not a good Saints team. Backup QB, depleted WR corp, average defense.

It's gonna get ugly IMO.

 

[FrodosFinger]

We could play Poona Ford at tight end and beat the Panthers. The rest of the games will be tight
