I agree that if we get to 6 wins its a massive improvement. If we get to 8 or more, Pederson should be a shoe in for coach of the year.

It probably depends a lot on what the wins and losses look like too. 6 wins is a good improvement if we are in most of the games we lose. However, if we squeak out most of those 6 wins and don't look competitive in most of the losses, 6 wins might suck.

My personal bar is that I experience emotions other than irritation and apathy when watching or thinking about my team after September. It's been far too often over the last decade where that's all I've had... It would be nice to actually be able to be emotionally invested in the team in a positive way for most of, if not all of the season.

I want to have 15 really interesting games whether we win or lose, 2 that we win by blow out. 6 wins in that case would be fine with me for this year. I want to see that we are a few players away from being really good after this season.

I’m hoping for well more than 6 wins

Depends on what the losses look like and how well they compete in the division.

If we could just get 6 wins in all the afcs games that'd be cool.

Exactly, I remember when we first began as a team our coach saying he was building a team to compete and win our division.  That was all that mattered to him.  It served us well then why not now. We were in the AFC central back then.

The bar is 20 wins.

6 wins in 3 seasons....sounds do'able.

---

Anything less than 6 would be pretty bad tbh. 6 or 7 wins should be the goal for us.

---

I was wrong about Trent Baalke. 

The goal should always be 17 games.

The outcome where I would be fine with the team performance? Probably 7-8 games.

Just tired of losing and the losing mentality as well. Go for the gusto.

---

6 sounds about right. I think we have 5 preseason games this season so if we can win 3 of those + 3 regular season games, we'll be right on our track of progression.

---

All things equal - 8 is my number.

I said it earlier this year when you go back and look at some of the games that particular roster lost during last season? They were maybe one or two decent drives on offense or a few stops away on defense from having another 2 - 3 wins.

The Jets game, the loss to the clots on the road, the Bengals game on the road and the Atlanta game.

Those were all very winnable games and close to where they could have potentially gone either way. I expect eight wins from this team. Based on the roster additions. The draft in two weeks. Pederson's history and staff hires. Within this division?

I fully expect 8 or more wins. Lawrence is supposed to be this generational QB. I want to see that bubble up to the surface in year two ASAP with this new roster and staff.

7 to 8 wins. I said 2 to 3 wins last year, with 7 the second year. The new coaching regime might be able to get to 9, but 7 to 8 feels about right.

No matter the record ….compete for the AFC South most of the season….that’s the goal…..IMO

---

I would be fine with 6 wins. That would show a huge improvement from the past 2 years.

Finals or bust

It is hard to be optimistic after the product that we have seen on the field the last couple of years.

Respect the game.  Play with a sense of urgency. 


1.)  Take care of the ball.  Win the turnover battle.

2.)  It's all about 3rd down.  Win on 3rd down to win the game.

3.) Playmakers make plays.  The only reason that you put your uniform on is to make plays. In order to EARN your paycheck, you must make plays.  

Learn from the great collapse of 2023.  

It is hard to be optimistic after the product that we have seen on the field the last couple of years.

100% agree with that.
