I'm feeling 7 to 9 wins (playoff hunt)

[Captain Americolt]

we could be 11 and 5 to I could see us beating new england as long as they dont lose before we play them we almost beat new england last year and that team sucked whether the texans rest their starters or not I can see us beating them at home, but they will embarrass us on the road our number of wins depends on consistentcy and we haven't had that so far this season ideally if we were going to make a play off run we need to beat the titans to stay ahead of them in wildcard hunt, beat dolphins to stay ahead of them beat jackson ville to continue hot streak upset new england and beat houston atleast once

Lol we almost beat New England last year? Did you even watch the game? We were dominated throughout the first 3 and 1/2 quarters. They gave up those two TDs to us in complete garbage time.

If you look at our schedule, 10-6 is not hard to imagine:

@Tennessee- Most winneable away game outside of Jacksonville. W

Miami- They haven't dont much this year to impress. W

@JAX- We owe them a whoopin and I think we will be hitting our stride at this point. W

@NE- Don't think we have much of a chance here unless we are really fired up and healthy. L

Buffalo- Again, not too impressed with them. Think we can take them at home. W

@Detoilet- Hostile environment, nasty players, I'm not liking this match up. L

Tennessee- At home, at the end of the year, with a playoff birth at stake I think we run the table on them. W

@Houston-........ L

@KC- One of the worst teams in the leage. W

Houston- I think Houston will be resting their starters here. I think we win this one and make the playoffs. W

Its possible... likely? maybe not so much. But possible if we can stay healthy!

Taking your list and looking at the current performance of the opponents we have, I think if will look more like this.

@Tenn - L - they have been playing much better and are on a two game win streak. We have not played well on the road yet.

Miami - W - maybe. They have the same record we have and are on a 2 game win streak, but we are at home.

@Jax - W - this is the most winnable road game we have because MJD probably will still be out.

@NE - L - we are not ready for them defensively.

Buffalo - W - they have the same number of wins that we do, but we are at home.

@Detroit - L - they have a deeper roster than we do and we are on the road.

Tenn - W - only listing this as a win because we are at home.

@Houston - L - strongest team in the AFC and we are at their house

@KC - W - bad enough team that we get our second road win.

Houston - L - they want to prove they can beat us at home.

I think this is the absolutely best case for us if we get and stay healthy. It puts us 8-8, but is dependent on us winning 2 road games and beating a couple of teams that are comparable to us talent and performance wise at home.

Of the 8 teams in the AFC who have played only 6 games so far, only Jax and KC on our schedule have scored fewer points than we have and only KC has given up significantly more points than us. While we all want to look at things through blue tinged glasses, for us to make the playoffs, several teams with more talent than we have will have to collapse and we will have to beat everyone comparable to us and register several more upsets.

Even so, I had been predicting a 3-13 year and now believe that 6-10 is well within reach. 8-8 is the best we can do.

That's still 7-9? I know what my Slogan was & I'm still sticking to it. I didn't mention the 9-7 because Ohio Colt just said 7-9 in the Topic Header

Actually, the topic header doesn't say 7-9 as a record. It says 7-to-9 wins.

In short, it says what you were saying all those months. Could be 7 wins. But, could be 9 wins. He also allows for 8 wins, which you didn't. It does not predict a 7-9 season.

You're not pulling a fast one on me, my Texas friend!
