Our defense sans Telvin, Malik, and Gipson is still quality but has a razor thin margin for error as far as drop offs or health go. One of the major reasons 2017 worked out so well is because we had insane luck in the injury department, we're going to need that again.

I think we are probably about the same team talent wise w/ the rookie additions and veteran losses, so it'll come down to Foles. Does he improve on Blake by enough to leap the rest of the division which is much, much stronger now than in 2017?

If it came down to how much better Foles is than Bortles, I think we’ll be ok.  I’m not sure of Foles stats on footballs bouncing off the o-line or interceptions that bounce off receivers feet while trying to ground it, but I’m pretty sure Bortles has a pair of each.  

Being a little more serious, Foles is definitely more accurate and consistent than Blake.  I also don’t think teams will just stack the box and dare Foles to make a play.  Because he’s already proven himself.  I think teams will have a bit more respect for the offense.  I’ll keep expectations to a minimum but am hoping for some good improvement offensively.
