Now that's how you do optimism

Positions to watch : ALL

I don't think they are going to have Luck throwing nearly as much as he has in the past. I think they want more of a run game, not the power bullshit, but a run game to take the pressure off of Luck. It's the modern NFL, so he'll still throw a decent amount, but not 600+ attempts

Week 1: vs CIN
Week 2: @ WAS
Week 3: @ PHI
Week 4: vs HOU
Week 5: @ NE
Week 6: @ NYJ
Week 7: vs BUF
Week 8: @ OAK
Week 9: Bye
Week 10: vs JAX
Week 11: vs TEN
Week 12: vs MIA
Week 13: @ JAX
Week 14: @ HOU
Week 15: vs DAL
Week 16: vs NYG
Week 17: @ TEN

Which of those games, right now, looks unwinnable?

I have two: @ PHI (Week 3) and @ NE (Week 5)

What other games do you look at and say, "we will not win that one?"

5 games at home in 2nd half of season when our young players (hopefully) are more in tune with the new offensive/defensive systems.

Am I predicting 14-2 ? Nope, we will lose more games along the line.

But, knowing where Luck is now. Knowing where the O-Line is and what they could become. Knowing of the potential at the offensive speciality positions. Knowing of the potential of some of our defensive unknowns, what other teams on that list are unbeatable?

IMO, my range of wins is from 8 wins up to 12 wins. I think we will surprise a lot of folks.

Walk Worthy,

I'm thinking 7 or 8 wins. It's going to take Luck half the season to get back to anything close to what he was. I'm expecting a slower start, but a strong finish to the year.

They will go 2 - 4 in the conference. I doubt they will beat a playoff team other than the Titans

I am excited to watch Quincy Wilson now that the jack ass is gone.
