I think some people are being a bit overly optimistic about our chances for next year (not that that's a bad thing).  It's been that way the last couple of years.  It's bound to happen when you've had a few down years.

 

I don't think that it's out of the realm of possibility that we win 6+ games next year.  But I also don't think it's likely.  I think the Giants will bounce back.  I think the Redskins will bounce back.  And I think that the Jags will start bouncing back too.  How much depends on what we do in the draft.  I think more than anything we'll see the team being more competitive next year.  We won't have a 200 point differential.  In fact I'd expect us to not have a 189 point differential either.  I think the team will start playing games closer.  And I think that's the progress we're going to get.  This is starting over from scratch. 

 

I think -140 would be a good start for point differential.  For comparisons sake, the Titans had a -141 point differential in 2012 and went 6-10.  

 

Hopefully we do win more -- and I think it'll be better if we get some really good rookies who play strong.  But the team has a way's to go yet.
