Predictions for the start of the season
 
Just wanted to see if anyone had any predictions for the start of the season, it can be anything from cuts, to people starting that we perhaps didn't think would a couple months back.

I'll start;

I predict that the starting WR's will be Colston, Cooks and Snead
At this point Snead looks more physical and a better fit than Coleman - who seems to be a clone of Nick Toon, great in camp, invisible in games.

I also think Damian Swann will be starting at Nickel Corner.

I understand Breaux has been injured and that's perhaps why he didn't have a good showing vs Texans, he was getting beat by a lot of underneath routes for first downs - maybe rust.

Still you can't rule out that Damian Swann has had 3 very good weeks of preseason so far.

Let's hear any predictions you have!

Honestly, this is the first time where I can say I have no clue...

Offensively this team looks to be in good, if not great shape. However, on the defensive side of the ball I can't tell if we'll be last or first. There are a lot of concerns and a lot of things that we look to be doing well.

So true B&G.

It all depends on that defense.

If they suck as bad as last year I could easily see 8-8.

If they end up being in the top 1/2 of the league I could see 10-12 wins, easily.

I just have no clue what this defense will look like due to all the changes, youth, and new additions.

At times I think they've made that step forward (Pats game), then I see the Texans game and wonder WTF is going on.

As bad as the defense was last year, the offense has to take the blame for some of the losses.

2-2 to start.

The changes this offseason will prove to have been the right moves but it will take a month to see the improvement.

But Eagles look way to good putting almost 40pts up a game in preseason. Not sure how we get a win in week 5.

Don't worry, Sam Bradford will be hurt by then.

PASS RUSH?

One appears and we will start off hot.


See what we have seen in preseason and we'll never get that D off the field and Drew will need to come up with 31 points a game...

0-4.

Predictions or wishful thinking?

The defense will play well enough to get 2-3 wins out of the first 5 games.

Naah!
