Seems to be the barometer this year. 13-3 if there's no major shocks/injuries and everything goes our way, 10-6 if there's the typical oops and ah craps along the way. Schedule looks favorable (of course that can change once the teams establish who they are this season), and we are still most definitely championship-caliber. LOB is getting grey around the edges as are some other vets on the team but we have a good mix of seasoned pro-bowl/all pro vets with some very intriguing youngsters that could make some noise.
I don't think Pete's message has fallen on deaf ears. Sure, the vets may not resonate with it quite as much as they did earlier in their careers but I guarantee you every single player is still tapping the "ALL IN" sign on the way to practice and every one of them has nothing but respect for Pete.
I'm going with 12-4. Feels about right. Obviously with the assumption no major catastrophes. If not first, second seed. Green Bay is going to be a pain and Dallas likely will as well. Atlanta? Yeah, they will be in the mix. And don't write off Carolina just yet.
Buckle up kiddies. Another fun season ahead.
