6-2 at home and 4-4 on the road

Yet they were still 7-9.

Plus, adding a new head coach normally helps... like the Bucs did.

 

Yea, the Bucs went from 4-12 to 7-9 which is a solid improvement... and they competed most games.

 

bucs were also 10-6 before that and snubbed from the playoffs, they have had a good team.

 

I'll be going to 3 games this year, and you better believe we go 3-0 in the games I go to. I don't give a d@mn if I have to sneak everyone 21 and up a shot of liquor.

 

Games we have to win: Jacksonville x2, KC, Arizona, New York, Oakland
Toss ups: Indy x2, Houston @ home, St Louis, Pittsburgh, San Diego
Games we should lose: Seattle, Houston away, San Francisco, Denver.

As long as we win the games we're absolutely supposed to, we already have 6 wins. Split the toss up games, and maybe pull an upset, and we'll be around 9-10 wins. The games in the first two columns really aren't that bad. My biggest worry is that we'll find a way to lose some of the games in the first column, killing any playoff chances like in 2011.

 

Can't predict any number of wins / losses until we see who the real Jake Locker is. Could be the make or break year for him. Another full year as the starter and the FO surrounding him with a much better o-line, its now or never. I can stand more ups-and-downs since hes still young but if he regresses at all it may be time to pull the plug and start to look somewhere else - which would suck because no one wants to rebuild again. Cmon Locker don't set us back.
