We could have arguably lost vs the Redskins and Cardinals last year.. so who knows. I will be happy with a 10-6 record as long as we get in the playoffs.

We will definitely be battle tested if we get there.


I think you underestimate the potency of our offense.
The Patriots and Packers defenses can't handle our offense, but they have explosive offenses too.. battle of the O.
The Seahawks and 49ers are more based on defense.. we just need to contain them as well.
The up and coming teams (Cardinals/Rams/Dolphins) are based around Defense as well.

I don't think there is a defense in the league since the '11/'12 Giants that can contain us.

Division games I'm more scared about than any other team though, I think we have 4 teams all with playoff potential.

I am saying 10-6 at the very least, :P.

If I had to make a prediction, I'd say we lose 2 divisional games this year and 2 other games. I would predict a 12-4 or 11-5 record realistically; hopefully winning the division.

Anything less than 19-0 is a down season for this team.

Rookies on the rise:

Quote
3. Robert Alford, Atlanta Falcons cornerback

It's only one preseason game, but I noticed that ProFootballFocus.com assigned a lower grade to Desmond Trufant than any other first-round pick while Alford earned one of the highest grades for second-round picks. Although both rookies have impressed onlookers, Alford has generated more buzz for his aggressiveness and physicality.

Louis Riddick @LRiddickESPN

Robert Alford technically/fundamentally is better than Trufant, as well as being a better run support player/tougher. Clearly evident to me.
