A new year. New season.
Regardless of what click bait whores think or say. Vegas Shmagus...
YOU know better.
This is a team primed to not disappoint this season. Absolutely there are question marks. Offense mainly. Still, you know our coach is no joke and has our defense primed to be in the Top 5 this year, which by itself, might win us an extra game or two. I don't see Sam Darnold suddenly reverting to his Jets Era. The interior OL may still be a rotational issue all year but the Left Guard situation should be money. Which means the entire left side of the line should be money.
Center and Right Guard remain a work in progress but hopefully the new coaches and scheme will mitigate any shortcomings. Baring any major injuries and strength of schedule, there's absolutely no reason we can't improve on Mike's 10 win inaugural season.
I have them - again, assuming injuries don't play a major role - going 11 wins AT WORST.
Let that sink in.
I see the Rams still being a thorn in our side. Cardinals? Meh. Even when they are good and scrappy, we still seem to have their number for the most part. 9ers will be my wild card. They lost a lot of good talent and they are recovering from an injury-laden year. If they can bounce back, they might be in the mix as well divisionally-speaking. But they had to pay Purdy which we all know how that goes in terms of salary cap and the ability to pay and bring in other top talents.
There's something fun brewing up here in the Pacific Northwest. Lots of young talent. A more than capable coaching staff. A defensive system that continues to lead the forefront in innovation. Many of these defensive players are now in the "We get it coach, now we can react" frame of mind which is music to all of our ears. Ask the Ravens defense how they felt about the scheme in the second year under Magic Mike's tutelage.
12-5. That's my intuitive pick.
Let's roll!
