[Jess]

I've got 9-7. Losses to: Minni, Tampa, Dallas, Baltimore, Chicago, Pittsburgh, and Arizona.

I could be swayed on the Arizona game. The rest I feel fairly confident about.

You're being quite pessimist. I try to see things differently...

Dallas at home, win. Their team isn't exactly a "team". Getting rid of Owens, even though he was the major problem, doesn't solve the lack of command and the primadona attitudes from the whole roster. And it makes life a lot easier not having to cover him all the time.

Tampa, new coach, no qb, no derrick brooks, old Barber, win.

Baltimore, though, but i'm optimistic. Their passing game isn't good, and they lost a key defensive playmaker, and their best man is old, don't know if he'll be so dominant this year.

MN and CHI I think we can win one road game from them. Or could be both. If we get a good start, we could win at MN. At CHI is thougher, unless the D is adjusted by then.

Arizona, I don't think their D and Running game will be as good as it was on the playoffs. But their passing game is explosive, maybe too explosive for our lack of pass rush and for our aging corners.

Pittsburgh, at Pittsburgh, I don't see us winning, unless our D AND our OL step up...

Things could change by september, STL could be goood, so could be Cleveland...
I could see us going 12-4. It could be 9-7, if things don't go well, but if they go better than expected, it could be 14-2, 15-1...It's a really easy schedulle, ON PAPER...

Looks like a nice schedule just glancing at it

[Eclipse612]

We must get off to a fast start to get to the postseason I guess. We end up on the road most of December. That also gets the frozen tundra factor out of play, if it ever would have been a factor.

[Da-Holder4]

im lookin at a 11-5 season... losses to pitt, Baltimore, 1 to Chicago, and 1 to Minnesotta... i think we could end up winning all the division games this year though, it all depends on AP, and JC

[Jess]

After a day to digest the new sched, I'm changing Tampa to a win in my prediction. Too much turnover there between coaches and a new QB. I smells a rebuilding year for the Bucs. So, 10-6 I guess. Maybe 11-5 if Arizona comes back down to earth.

Sunday, Oct. 25 ... @ Cleveland Browns ... Noon (Fox) W
Sunday, Nov. 1 ... Minnesota Vikings ... Noon (Fox) W

12-4

Should win the Division

[Jess]

I wouldn't say there's no way the Lions beat us. They should've beaten us last year in the game at Ford. If Kitna doesn't get interception-itis they probably win that game. Not to mention that they always play us tough on thanksgiving. Would I bet on the Lions to win that game? No. But do I think it's possible? Yes.

And why do people think we can beat Dallas? I'm curious, because I look at that matchup on paper and see that they have a better offense than we have, and a defense that's just as good as ours.

[Veretax]

Dallas is going to regress again. That eagles loss will have them in trouble all season i think. Romo has what..... 2 receivers to throw to plus witten? They lost some defenders, and they don't have a lot of draft picks to restock.
