Mind Character Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) Beyond voting in the poll, if you have the time please post specifying the win versus loss games. -------------------------------- --------------- --------------- Typed Schedule for Win-Loss Predicitons Week 1 -- Titans Week 2 -- at Jets Week 3 -- Rams Week 4 -- at Ravens Week 5 -- at 49ers Week 6 -- Seahawks Week 7 -- Bye Week 8 -- at Patriots Week 9 -- at Broncos Week 10 -- Buffalo Week 11 -- Steelers Week 12 -- Dolphins Week 13 -- at Steelers Week 14 -- Bengals Week 15 -- at Cardinals Week 16 -- Ravens Week 17 -- at Bengals Edited April 18, 2019 by Mind Character Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reginaldm9 Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Something about 10-6 just feels right. 3-3 before the bye while the rust comes off and the new coaches work their magic and a late season explosion makes sense to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mind Character Posted April 18, 2019 Author Share Posted April 18, 2019 (edited) My Win-Loss Predictions ... If we can stay relatively healthy at key positions, I have us winning 12 to 13 games with 12 being the likeliest number. Teams battle through focus issues, injuries, complacency, and/or the opponent's coaches just having our teams/coaches number a particular week. Therefore, as much as it matters to compare talent and predict a win-loss, it matters to project how those other factors may play in during the schedule. --------------------------------------------- Week 1 -- Titans = Win Week 2 -- at Jets = Toss-Up, Leaning Close Loss (Key lesson and humbling experience for the season to let our team know that we haven't arrived yet; they rebound in impression fashion but something was off this game; the drafting of Quinnen Williams and signing of CJ Mosley to go with Leonard Williams, Jamal Adams, Marcus Maye, rising star Avery Williamson, a revitalized Trumaine Johnson in Gregg Williams defense; breakout player after 7 sacks Jordan Jenkins OLB; DE Henry Anderson/rising sophomore Nathan Shepherd; the Jets hit on one of there two 34OLB selections in the draft in the 4th round and 5th round with Derick Roberson, 34OLB Sam Houston St. or Oshane Ximines, 34OLB ODU; and success drafting a CB that starts in the draft proves difficult match-up w/ Gregg dialed by chance this game in prime time. Le'veon Bell has a big game w/ Robby Anderson getting behind Morgan Burnett for a few big plays. Our team just comes out sloppy. Adam Gase and Darnold are in sync. Turns out to be their best game all year as an impressive one-off when the season is all said and done. Our offense just isn't connecting. Bad penalties on a final defensive drive stand cost us the game with the Jets winning by field goal. Of course, I could easily see this being a big win for the Brownies as well, but right now I see this as one of those bad games with the experience benefiting our still young team in the long run. Week 3 -- Rams = Win Week 4 -- at Ravens = Win Week 5 -- at 49ers = Win Week 6 -- Seahawks = Win Week 7 -- Bye Week 8 -- at Patriots = Loss, One of the best, nail-biting games of the year ... both teams play well ... we lose by a field goal due to poor execution in the final minutes of the game. Week 9 -- at Broncos = Win Week 10 -- Buffalo = Win Week 11 -- Steelers = Win Week 12 -- Dolphins = Win Week 13 -- at Steelers = Loss Week 14 -- Bengals = Win Week 15 -- at Cardinals = Win Week 16 -- Ravens = Toss Up, Highly Competitive Game Where Ravens Believe They Can Be Spoilers for our Playoff Position, Leaning toward Win Week 17 -- at Bengals = Toss Up, Leaning toward Loss ... we rest our 1st team, having secured a playoff spot and the Bengals edge out a win over our second team.

Agreed. Barring any major key injuries, 10-11 wins sounds about right. I believe we're capable of winning any of those games before the bye, but all of those teams should be solid at worst. Tennessee is tough, the Jets should be improved, and even San Francisco could be tough depending on how well they play with Jimmy G. And obviously LA, Seattle and Baltimore will be very tough games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwibrown Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Less than 12 is a bust of a year if Baker is healthy for 16. Age championship is the minimum for the post season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are like the 6-10th best, then we'd need the defense to help us get to that number and I have no idea what to expect there yet. I'd be disappointed with less than 8 wins but 9 would be okay by me. That's good progress. 16-0 would also work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree ... the one thing I have no clue about is how many wins will it take to secure a spot in the playoffs??? Will 10 wins be enough? I guess a lot has to do with the uncertainty regarding how good the Steelers can be without AB and Lev Bell. WIll they still be dominant and edge us out for the AFC North title?

I agree I am hesitant about our defense, bu they should be top 15, boosted by our offense it should be top 10. Our offense should be top 3 and average 28-30 points per game. It could go pear shaped.

bruceb Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 I know I sound like a broken record but we have or will have the players to win every game. Down to the coaching. I think 3-3 at the bye week is realistic. With adjustments/improvements in the coaching and Hunt coming in thereafter I think 8-2 out is realistic, baring major injuries.

Kiwibrown Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 If our defense is good o think we could have a 1999 rams type season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think our offense could start top in theleague and drop to top 10 as it gets cooler. Our defense should get better as they get more accustomed to wilks.
