The Upcoming Season Depends on....

[TABF]

...You Finish the Title and post your predictions: It's been awhile since I went bold, so here goes.


The upcoming season depends on; Our D's ability to get off the field... Our offense will control the clock and score points. Our D just needs to find a way to get off the field.

Mon, Sep 8 @ Cardinals 10:20 PM (Win 1-0)
Sun, Sep 14 vs. Seahawks 4:05 PM (Loss 1-1)
Sun, Sep 21 @ Bills 1:00 PM (Win 2-1)
Sun, Sep 28 vs. Jaguars 4:05 PM (win 3-1)
Sun, Oct 5 vs. Jets 4:25 PM (Win 4-1)
Sun, Oct 12 @ Raiders 4:05 PM (Win 5-1)
Sun, Oct 19 vs. Chiefs 4:05 PM (Win 6-1)
Thu, Oct 23 @ Broncos 8:25 PM (Loss 6-2)
Sun, Nov 2 @ Dolphins 1:00 PM (Win 7-2)
Sun, Nov 16 vs. Raiders 4:05 PM (Win 8-2)
Sun, Nov 23 vs. Rams 4:05 PM (Win 9-2)
Sun, Nov 30 @ Ravens 1:00 PM (Los 9-3)
Sun, Dec 7 vs. Patriots 8:30 PM (Loss 9-4)
Sun, Dec 14 vs. Broncos 4:05 PM (Win 10-4)
Sat, Dec 20 @ 49ers TBD (Win 11-4)
Sun, Dec 28 @ Chiefs 1:00 PM (Loss 11-5)

If we can somewhat stop the run & get off the field defensively, we will be okay and most likely win the west. If our defense cannot get off the field, we will be 8-8.

......our OL's ability to protect Rivers & for him to remain healthy all season.

14-2 (with our only losses coming from Seahawks & Broncos).....that being said, we will probably lose some dumb/win-able games along the way.....so possibly more realistically, 10-6.

[Boltergeist]

...the red zone offense's ability to put sixes on the board.

I never make predictions, but I am cautiously optimistic this year, up from hopeful but pessimistic last year (though I felt like a Polyanna next to the legion of doom members).

PS My I was pessimism was about the win-loss record and not the direction in which the team was going.

..............being injury free or at least one of the top 5 least player injured teams....so far we have been OK in this regard, I know the Dline has had issues but everyone else is looking good.

Remember last year, our top two wideouts were gone by game three, our top pass rushers were gone by game 3 or 4, our Oline was a big question mark and Cox and Marshall were our starting CB's. It's a miracle we were so successful. So with minimum injuries I have no qualms predicting 12-4.

LOL!!! Nice. I should rep you. In fact, I think I will.

Here's hoping I "watch" 19 games this season.

Edit: I retract that. I'm not sending you rep. I just read your two very mean posts about me from other threads and my feelings are really hurt.

Luiget being healthy the entire year. Dline depth is abysmal so his health is key to this year success

From the other thread:

1) Injuries: Pretty much every team's #1 concern, every year, IMO. But we can afford injuries less than most teams (see #4)
2) Schedule: Brutal. Two extra losses (Seattle, San Fran), almost certainly, as opposed to playing...say...the NFC East.
3) DL: As in, we have none.
4) Depth: Only a couple of positions are set (RB, DBs, TEs)
5) Pass rush: Where is it?

Me drinking most of a bottle of tequila each game. We never lose when I do......but, it s hard to do that all season. However, you are welcome for the end of season winning streak....Monday's were hell
