Knee jerk first impression on these upcoming teams... does anyone other than my dumb arse see a 10+ win record if we can resign and keep a reasonable majority of our players in place?

Just off the top of my wine soaked head - I kinda assume Pitt will leave due to $$$ but Pierce will be signed long term. Daniel Jone a shorter 2-3 year deal to see how he rebounds from his injury. Not too shocked if Moonie retired due to the concussions, Smith at RT likely gone also. Paye and Franklin will be cut methinks but wish we could somehow clone Buck.

Hoping we resign most of the others and hope like hell that Chris and crew can find some decent linebackers and DEs but happy to hear the bitching and moaning begin. :D :eek:

We get the Kansas City Chiefs on the road for the second consecutive season.

6-11 or 7-10 being optimistic. There's almost always a game or two that wind up in your favor. Almost. Crap.

Might have to go to this game.

The Steelers, too.

Steelers, too. When Peyton was here, it seemed we always got the toughest teams at their place. We played 3 of 4 years in Foxborough, giving them HFA there, and subsequently in the playoffs as a result.

I only see six games against 2025 playoff teams. This year, we played six. If we can return the right players, I see a much better record. If Ward and Buck retire, and we lose Pierce, all bets are off.

I'm betting Ward retires (and I think he should). Buck may come back but he is getting up in years and coming off a spinal injury. There is bound to be a downturn in play at some point. Those are the kind of things all teams go through. Losing Pierce would be a blow. Teams don't develop wide recievers to let them go on their first free agency. You would hope he would want to return but it has been silent. Don't personally know the dude so hard to read anything into that. If he leaves it will be very telling. Hope he stays in a big way.

not a lot of wins there on paper

Its the 4th easiest schedule in the NFL, based on opponent win%.

Interesting. Anecdotally it seemed like a tougher schedule. Guess I'm just looking at things too glass half empty right now :cool:

The Chiefs game is deceptive ...... Patrick Mahomes was limping around and not at full strength for several games, even before he tore his ACL in the 15th game of the season ...... I think that they will be back next year as the typical, juggernaut team that they had been for the previous 7 consecutive seasons.
