I went with 13-4 because you can't go 13-3 anymore.

We went 9-7 the season prior to going 13-3 and to Super Bowl XL, so why not an appearance at Super Bowl LX?

I'll say 7-10.

I think we're due for a considerable regression. Mostly because of two big advantages we had last season that we can't depend on having again:

1. We were one of the healthiest teams in the league.

2. Our division was absolute trash.

That gift of an early season schedule helped too. We lack the means to upgrade where we need to without luck, we have an aging QB who I see having around a 1:1 TD to INT ratio again, and I'm not convinced we're actually well-coached.

We have playoff talent. I don't see us realizing it next season though.

I can't predict anything better than last season until the off-season plan is carried out.

So 8 to 10 wins as of now.

10-7. I’m usually overly-optimistic on these polls but, our staff is still forming…especially with a new (albeit veteran) o-coordinator coming in.

I think we lack a few too many pieces to see a difference offensively. Our defense has Top 5 potential but, everything has to line up on both sides of the ball.

While I think Geno is our best option next year, he appears to have regressed. Grubb certainly had a hand in that but, it’s time to start taking shots in the draft…although they certainly don’t grow on trees.

I 100% hope I’m wrong. It just looks like a rough road ahead.

Only 9 out of 32 NFL teams won 11 or more games in 2024. Same thing in 2023. At this point i'll predict every team is under 11 wins for 2025. 🤷‍♂️

It’s too early for a serious choice here as we haven’t made any player moves to improve the team yet. With that said if I were being serious with it I’d say 9-8 but I put 11 just for the heck of it.

Would love to see 13+ wins, but I went with 11-6. 11 wins in the NFL is tough. Injuries, new coaching voices, plays, techniques, etc… MM will be better. Will the defensive line be able to match what Big Cat brought last season. Can JReed maintain? Can BMurphy take a step forward?

I hope so. If the run game gets better maybe 13 wins is possible. QB play and health are huge factors.

I went 11-6, I had them at 10-7 this last season and they didn't fail me. A few big tweaks should be good for a win or two considering how closed they came before.
