Sorry to take the pessimistic route & vote 6-8, but I haven't seen any evidence that this team is capable of upsetting good teams. Ever since Geno became the starter, they maybe have 2 upsets, and both were against Detroit.
And that's what bugs me the most. I'm of the belief that there is more than sufficient talent on this team to be true a contender, but the schemes they play handcuff their real potential. IMO Carroll needs to get his head out of his rear and allow both Coordinators and their schemes/playcalling to move into the year 2023. If the schemes change and are allowed to function at full potential, the ceiling for this team is the Superbowl.6-8
Playing real teams with good QBs brings the pessimism out of me.
Both sides of the ball are fundamentally flawed and need serious revision for how to attack the opposition. Until coaches make a change, or a change in coaching is made, I don't see any improvement to magically happen. We are who we are. And that's a below average team with poor coaching.
I think dot net has largely expressed how they feel this year pretty damn overwhelming agreeing that things are bad right now.Permission to speak freely.
They still have one of those "how the hell did we beat them" in them. A lot of talent on this team. A lot of guys with a lot of pride.
I think we have a legit shot against Dallas. Philly and Santa Clara......not so much. But you still gotta' lace em up.
The one saving grace is a pile of teams at or below .500 that are out of the "playoff hunt" right now.
Realism is not hate, anything else is enablingI optimistically voted for 7-7, but I think 6-8 is much more likely. I just hate to hate that much on my own team...
