Quote:You're killing me with the 3-1 possibility. Simply put, I'll be ecstatic if we go 1-3, and for my 8-8 prediction to be true we probably do have to win one of the first four games. These teams we're facing out of the gate are not exactly slouches


 

P.S., congrats on 5000 posts. You're in esteemed company.

 

Thanks!  

 

I'm trying to temper my enthusiasm regarding my prediction.  I realize how well we looked offensively in last year's pre-season.  And I know the wheels can fall off once the regular season starts.  The track record over the past 2 seasons with Gus is that we start really, really slow.  

 

But I don't know, I don't think we should expect the same rubbish this year.  The Panthers are beatable.  The Dolphins are also beatable.   The only team I think we are clearly out-matched by (so long as Brady isn't playing come week 3) is the clots.

 

I don't see how you don't expect a strong start this year.  If Bradley is a legit HC, we should be sprinting right at the gate.  There's no way we should expect a drowsy start to the season.
