Based exclusively on reality - Chad Henne #1, Blake Bortles #2 - and not a hope against hope wish our quarterback depth chart was reversed, how many games are you expecting us to win this season? Here is the schedule:

 

1. at Eagles

2. at Redskins

3. Colts

4. at Chargers

5. Steelers

6. at Titans

7. Browns

8. Dolphins

9. at Bengals

10. Cowboys*

11. Bye

12. at Colts

13. Giants

14. Texans

15. at Ravens

16. Titans#

17. at Texans

 

*in London

#on NFL Network

 

Home/away pattern: Two away, one home, one away, two home, travel three out of four weeks, two home, one away, one home, one away.

 

What stands out: Another trip to California. Statistically, we have one of the easiest schedules this year because we are in the NFL's weakest division. However we do not have an easy game at London no matter how bad the Cowboys are. The Redskins game will be interesting because they have a new coaching staff and were worse than us in 2013. The bye week comes at a good time - right before the game at Indianapolis. Home against the Titans will be fun to watch because it is our only night game.

 

I can't predict the results of all 16 games, but think we will lose at Philadelphia, San Diego, Cincinnati, and London if we do not make a huge improvement over last year. I always predict a loss at Indianapolis.  We probably will show more signs of life in our losing games, however. I expect to win more games but still miss the playoffs as long as Chad Henne is the quarterback.
