To be fair to the national media experts:
Our defense did look depleted with exodus of proven players; Our offense seemingly failed to improve on one known weakness aka OL. Needless to say, most of those experts had insider access to our stars, like Sherman, Earl, Bennett, etc. After consulting those stars, experts had no choice but to conclude that Pete lost the locker room, Then Pete hired Schottemheimer, affirming those experts' suspicion of Pete lost his mind.
So a head coach that lost his locker room and his mind, 4 wins were being generous to the national experts.
Would the National Media ever predict a Team led by Brady, Brees or Rodgers win only 4 games, no matter how awful the roster looked?
As long as we have Wilson upright, we are no worse to go 8-8 IMO. I mean the defense disintegrated last year, the OL was a dumpster fire in run blocking and pass blocking, the kicking game was awful. And yet Wilson pretty much on his own led us to 9-7.
So if we can go 9-7 with that awful 2017 team, it wasn't likely to get worse unless Wilson got injured.
And I'm sure Wilson is set on showing everyone the disrespect is noted. As is Wagner and Wright.
