I need to see the offense in the preseason before I can really weigh in. We could be as good as 12-4 or as bad as 8-8. Flacco and more specifically scangs will determine how good we are. I am very leery about he and his system. Knowing in what situations to call plays, not be predictable, maybe FOR THE LOVE OF GOD CALL A SCREEN TO THE RB everyonce in a while, know what the defense will likely do and attack it. All that. I am fearful he will not have that.
Until I see how we look I will take the middle of 10-6.
I'm about to go ham.
24-0 (including preseason)
Regular season......10-6 worst; 12-4 best
i see seven to nine wins. . . fangio almost has to be better than VJ, but there will be a learning curve. . . new head coach, new OC, new DC, new schemes on both sides of the ball-- and the HC and OC are both first timers. . . i love what we did in the draft and free agency, and especially love the addition of munchak. . . it's going to take some time, though-- and we still don't have a quality starter in place at QB. . . i like the rest of the pieces on offense, but IMO we're probably still a year away on that side of the ball, unless lock gets in there and goes bananas. . . i will be super disappointed if we don't have a top five defense, but against a tough schedule, i'm not sure that will be enough to land a playoff berth. . .
conclusion-- i like the way we're trending, but i expect this to be a transition year, not a break-out year. . . i really just want to see von and chubb f*** up some QB's lives. . .
:defense:
No way to sugar coat it. I've read 2 QB ranking articles one had Flacco dead last ranked 32 and Madden has him tied for 2nd worst. 4-12.
