If Jameis stays healthy and Kamara does not get suspended, I think we are looking at 11-6 or 12-5. I think we split with Tampa in the regular season and set up a tie break in the playoffs. Atlanta and Carolina are still a mess. The game in London is a toss up. Bengals, Rams, and Ravens are the toughest games, probably.

This team is lead by DA now. Under Payton we consistently started slow and then picked up speed once they get their rhythm. I want to see how crisp the team looks coming out of training camp under DA before I'll have an idea what the team looks like. I'll be out of the country for the first three weeks of the season and won't be able to throw my mojo unless I can find the game, and trust me I'll be looking hard to find the game.

10-7 With a slow start

13-4 If we gel early

But remember the Saints were dysfunctional when Payton arrived, so disfunction may only stop lesser coaches. We have definitely upgraded at WR which is why I dont predict a .222 record though it could happen. We lost 2 pro bowl level players in free agency. A lot will depend on injury and perhaps suspension so if everything goes right we could win but I feel we have a lot of risk. Our qb is coming off an acl. Michael Thomas has not been healthy in 2 years. Cameron Jordan is getting old and Davenport is brittle. Our 3 biggest free agent signings all come with injury concerns over their careers. Taysom Hill is $10 million of glass and we cant sign a real TE because we have to justify his salary. Kamara could still be suspended and the offense has struggled with him out. Our quest under Mickey Loomis to have as few draft picks as possible has left us with an older and less deep roster. If everyone stays healthy we could win it all if Allen has a great second act as head coach, but Allen’s first act was weak and we have accumulated a lot of injury risk.

Some of yall can call me crazy but I kinda called it with the post above. There were some surprises that Taysom Hill did not get hurt (though I was right that he was not a real TE) and none of the suspension clouds materialized this year. But basically I called our exact record, Michael Thomas and Jameis Winston struggling off injuries, depth and old age being an issue on the roster, WR being our main area of improvement, the big 3 free agents of Landry, Mathieu, and Maye carrying injury risk (2 of 3 missed significant time), and head coach being a major question with Allen's records with the Raiders not necessarily being a fluke.

A lot of change in one season. Middle of the schedule is rough.

My one and only main concern going into 2022 (aside from health) is the volume of changes in a single offseason.

New Head coach
New assistant coaches
2 new starting safeties
2 new starting WRs (not even mentioning MT)
New LT

Look, I think every move is at least lateral if not upgrade but the communication alone will be challenging.

Those first four games I feel like we should come out 4-1 could just as easily turn into 1-4 if we're not sharp.

I'm probably wrong....

Not bad. I just typed "wins" when I meant "losses"

On paper, definitely not the most "difficult" regular-season schedule for the Cows.

Well, at least I got the "12 wins" prediction right on the Cowboys
