unless the defense really plays over their head, i see us going 9-7 or at best 10-6

i say this taking into account how young our defense is and how horrible it was last year, i also take into consideration our schedule

that being said, if we do get into the playoffs with either of those records (or please god an even better record) then teams had better watch out, i do believe that once in the playoffs we have to be considered a strong favorite based on our seeming ability to win against tough teams

i have every confidence that if we can get into the playoffs we should go far not only this year but for years to come, reaching the playoffs is the big mental hurdle this team needs to get over and once we do watch out
