4 NFL.com analysis have us between 6-8 wins

[HtownColt]

Steve Wyche and 3 others have our regular season records as:

8-8 3rd in AFC South

7-9 2nd in AFC South

6-10 3rd in AFC South

6-10 4th in AFC South

with 3 key matchups against the Bears, Patriots, and Texans.

i just say were going to be alot more competitive than people think.

especially when we shock the world and beat the Bears week 1.

[cjwhiskers]

I agree.

Beating the Bears would be sweet. Not just because most don't expect us to, but also because I can rub it in my brother's Bear-lovin' face.

After all, isn't that what makes sports truly grand?

[Superman]

Those are all realistic predictions. More in line with what I've been saying since the draft. Much more on target than 1-15 and picking first in the draft again.

[TKnight24]

For the 52nd time

7-9 or 9-7 Nothing More, Nothing Less

lol

[TKnight24]

So, the one who has us 6-10 & FOURTH in the Division has everyone (Including the Jags) winning 7+ Games???

That one is UNREALISTIC! When was the last time the Jags Won more that 7 Games? And I'm being serious, cause I don't know.

Okay. So definitely not 8-8 then...

Could lose a tie-breaker...

funny part about that one is. thats Steve Wyche prediction lol

[Phil J]

For the 52nd time

Please, no more times. We get it.

[TKnight24]

I know the possibilities. But I'm asking with MJD holding out & probably won't come back till a few days before their Season Opener if that, how do they expect to win more than 5 games?

I know Gabbert now has Blacmon to throw to, but still

[TKnight24]

Exactly. And when I do watch NFL Network, he usually makes reasonable statements. But that one has me scratching my head. JAX has always been the Bottom feeders of this division. Why the sudden leap up this year to 5+ wins?

[bavanlan]

Merrill Hodge put us at 8-8 this AM on ESPN, fwiw.

They won five games last season.

[Coltswarriors]

I agree. I think we'll finish 6-10, but who knows we could be even better!

[TKnight24]

They won five games last season.

Ehh, I guess it's possible. But I just don't see it. But hey, what do I know? I'm only 18 lol

[bavanlan]

I agree. I think we'll finish 6-10, but who knows we could be even better!

I have us at 7-9 with a +/- of 2.

I'm sure that the fact they play the Vikings, Raiders, Dolphins, and what looks to be a very dysfunctional Jets team this year probably helps boost their predicted W/L total. Add in that most analysts likely predict them to split with both us and TN and that is already 6 wins.

Oh yeah, AFC South does clash with AFC East & NFC North. Forgot all about that. Our division might come down to Divisional Wins. But I have the Texans or Titans winning the Division this year

[Qwiz]

6-8 wins sounds about right, maybe one less, for sure more than 3.

[Moncrief]

lol

You have that down to an exact number

[TKnight24]

You have that down to an exact number

Yeah, I've kept Track lol. This is times I've said it in person, on this forum, & when I've had dreams about it lol

[smittywerb]

The thing is this is not all that bad. People still have last year in their heads.

[Moncrief]

Pretty weird dreams then

[TKnight24]

Pretty weird dreams then

Not really lol. If my dreams are true this year... some teams are in for an upset when they play us lol

2010.

[chad72]

Bears use zone blocking for their RBs much like the Redskins and Texans, dont they, with the new offense?

I am glad we dont play the Texans early, it would have shot our confidence, on the run D front especially.

[HarassedOffTheSite]

when I do watch NFL Network, he (Wyche) usually makes reasonable statements.

Reasonable and milquetoast are two different things.

I find him to be tedious.

lol tedious is such a mean word

[HarassedOffTheSite]

lol tedious is such a mean word

I mute the flatscreen when him or Lombardi are talking. Wyche is an empty suit and Lombardi passed on Warren Sapp. And as a result, facilitated the creation of the Baltimore Ravens.

There's a reason they're both "on set".

[Nobody]

6-10 4th in AFC South

The Jags will not be better than 6-10!

[Andy]

6-8 wins is dead on accurate. I say 6-10

[Colts20593]

Bucky Brooks Andrew Luck is the real deal and he will quickly make Colts fans forget about No.18.

Strongly disagree.....

We will never forget No.18

[Susie Q]

[Mameluc]

im thinking 6-10 maybe 8-8

[Jon Daily]

we win the division with 9-7.

For some reason I think the texans take a step back.

Just a gut feeling

Well it's always been said listen to your gut.

[Chris Wood]

I put us down for 9-7 this year, second in division. After watching the game Saturday thinking it may be a little optimistic (glass half full guy here). But, if we beat the Bears week 1, I will stay optimistic and maybe even hope for more.

[Qwiz]

What does your gut tell you about the quickly emerging Titans? What kind of steps are they taking this year? Just curious.
