Looking at the schedule we face 4 teams with offenses that can put up points no matter how good our D is, imo.

Philly, Chargers, Colts, Cowboys

So let's say they outscore us. 5 losses.

If Dalton has a day without multiple INTs, Bengals are a stout D that could put a clamp on Henne.

Thats number 6.

So for playoffs, assuming the clots take the division, we'll probably need to win every other game. Including Pitt at home. Sweeping the tacks and tinhorns. And winning late in Baltimore.

 

If we do that we deserve to be in the playoffs.

 

If we get 8 wins I consider the season a great success.
