“Our Defense is going to win us 8+ games this year”

[JayhawkMike]

Alright y’all who said this reveal yourself.

 

[HawkFreak]

REGULAR season wins.
Not preseason.

 

[GemCity]

Appears you won’t be able to question that statement until …uhhh…week 9

 

[Maelstrom787]

It wasn't me, as I said their ceiling this year was probably 8-9 IIRC.

But go easy. Most of the starters ain't playing, and the defense has always been vanilla in the preseason. Simply too early to start freaking out.

If you can't stop anyone in pre-season, there's little chance in the regular season when your starters are all on the bench hurt and you're down to your practice squad on the depth chart. What you are seeing on the field at this moment is your starting team give or take in December when you're fighting for either a playoff spot or a high draft pick. I'm seeing draft...

That's not how football works. Do you know what the odds are that every single defensive starter is out in December? Come on man. Gtfoh with this crap lol

If you really think that's what I meant, you are obviously a newbie here.

The backpedalling is already beginning.

The same people that would shame anyone for predicting a bad season.

Are going to be the ones telling us, "What'd you expect it's a rebuilding year?!"

BUT you predicted 8-9 wins NOT a rebuilding year, LOL.

Darrell Taylor and Nwosu still out there in the 2nd qtr is bad coaching, unless Pete is trying to tank. You're just asking for a guy to get injured who you can't afford to get injured.

 

[Smellyman]

not one starter in the secondary.

Good experience for the new guys

I've been here a lot longer than you have.

Don't worry. This team is not going to be close to sniffing a playoff spot in December. Hopefully they draft an impact player with their top 10 pick next spring.
