    I have a good feeling about starting out the season 3-0. I think our D will be too confusing for a rookie QB in his 1st game. We should be confusing Winston all day long.

    We manhandled the Browns last year, and a complete collapse by the team in the only reason we lost. I don't see that with Mariota at the helm (instead of CBJ)

    I really think that we are 2-0 when we face the Colts. 1st home game and the crowd should be rockin' at LP field. I think we pull the upset and end up 3-0.

    We will take a slide after the 3-0 start, but we can at least pull off 2 wins during the next 6 game stretch (Bills, Mia, Hou, ATL, NO, CAR) that would have us at 5 wins for the season. And none of those teams are that great. We will have a chance to win against all of those teams.

    Then we come to what should be a pretty easy stretch, where I think we can string together a nice streak: Jax, Oak, Jax, NYJ ... If we can win those games (I expect all those team to be bad this year), then that puts us at 9 wins with 3 games left to go.

    Ultimately I think we only win 7-8 games because I think we drop a game or 2 that we should win, but our schedule looks pretty easy. I think with this schedule, 9 wins is not an overly optimistic view.

    Not saying we weren't a bad team last year (we were pretty real terrible), but we played 10 games against teams that ended the year with a winning record.

    This year, we only play 6 games against teams that were better than .500 last year.

    Don't have anything else to go off of other than last year though.

    And for the most part it is a decent indicator. If you look at teams record in 2014 and compare to how they did they previous year, most of the records look pretty much the same.

    5 teams records remained exactly the same in 2013 to 2014

    9 teams records changed (up or down) by 1 game

    On average, teams record only deviated by 2.25 games in 2014 compared to 2013

    Yea but there's always a couple of teams that surprise, and they probably do so by being overlooked by everyone

    I just don't want to see us get blindsided because we decided to look the wrong way when certain teams come across
