I did it a couple of times and every time I had to go back and double- check because I had the Titans with "too many wins". That's a talented and ascending squad in Tennessee, enjoy your season...

Forge Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'm actually going to be surprised if the Jets win a game this year. I understand it's very hard to go winless, but not impossible and that team is just...yuck. Especially since I don't think that Mo Wilkerson is getting back to what he was 2 years ago.

Thomas5737 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I think they are multiple games too low on Washington, Detroit, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Indianapolis and Denver. New England isn't going undefeated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKTexans Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 This feels like a Madden SIM to be honest. Would be bitterly disappointed with an 8-8 season, although it is possible with the question marks we currently have at key positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. And predicting any team to go undefeated right off the bat ruins it for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coors Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I like seeing the Falcons go 12-4 but I'm feeling more like 10-6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scar988 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I'll put money on it right now that the pats lose 3+ games. They aren't good enough to go undefeated and need a perfect storm for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttitansfan4life Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 I don't see 12-4 by the Titans simply because I don't trust the secondary. Adding guys like Cyprien, Ryan, and Jackson doesn't give me big time confidence. Cyprien is a box safety who should never be in coverage. Logan Ryan is a #2 CB at best and Adoree Jackson is a very raw rookie CB. Sure they should be upgrades over a beat down Jason McCourty and a bum like Valentino Blake but they're still terrifying. The OLB depth is scary. Morgan and Orakpo are a damn good duo but will have to play a lot again considering the depth is trash. The defense to me upgraded some in the secondary but for the most part, the defense is the same. The offense is obviously what slot of people are excited about. Young franchise QB with a great OL, TE, and one of the best RB duos in the league. The receivers were the issue last year with Rishard Matthews being the only consistent threat last year but even at his best, he's a good #2 WR. Adding an explosive rookie like Corey Davis, and signing a red zone threat who does a lot of good things out of slot could definitely open the offense more especially down the field. Decker obviously has to stay healthy but going from the likes of Matthews, Sharpe, and Wright to Matthews, Decker, and Davis seems like a huge upgrade to me. Injuries especially to Mariota and Mularkey's/Robiskie's play calling are what could hold this offense back. I think this team hovers around the same record as last year. It's definitely a more talented team but I just think inconsistent play in the secondary and the lack of improvement at ILB and the depth at OLB hinders them again this year.
