For the Record.... Off Season Version

16-0 baby.  That is how I see it every offseason.

Long before free agency began I said that if we could get Dalvin Cook back, land Kirk Cousins and somehow, someway STILL get Sheldon Richardson, we'll win our 19th of 19 in '19 (Super Bowl is in 2019). I'll stick with that.

We seem to like playing poorly in our season openers.  But we'll do alright after that.  12-4... 

I think they will lose to the Rams and the team will be 2-2. Everyone here will be up in arms complaining about KC and D-Flip because the Offense hasn't gelled yet. Wondering if Zimmer should relinquish calling the plays on D because they're not number 1 in every category and Richardson only has 1 sack.

And then the team will rip off 8 in a row before losing in Seattle because all streaks end sooner or later and losing a meaningless game in Detroit while resting starters in the second half.

12-4. Number 2 seed. Wins on the roaf in the NFCCG and avenges that long ago loss to the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

We beat Seattle.
I agree with your other loses. Accept we find a way to lose again a Soldier Field this year. That place brings out the worst in us.
So we agree at 12-4. I see us 6-2 division.

I had seattle as a win,  and I think we could beat philly in philly,  but they are both coming off games on the opposite side of the country, back to back road games across 4 time zones... thats brutal.

Man, the Rams on a short week at their place...That reeks L to me...Seattle on MNF will be a tough out, but we'll get that done...

We better not lose to the Seahawks, they will be a shell of their former team this year.  By the time that game rolls around, the "12th Man" will mostly be off the bandwagon and the stadium won't be as loud.  Plus, there will be many Vikes fans there as usual.  :) 

15-1 only loss is to NE only cuz it is in their house.   But, we will stomp their asses in the Super Bowl.

I am concerned about a few if these games against teams that are notorious for those questionable shots they take on the opposition.   It will be hard fought games all through the schedule. 

if we get to 10-6 ill be estatic!!!

I'm optimistic. 11-5. But got to stay healthy. That's always a plus.

I just want to beat Detroit at home for once...;)

Seriously though, what FSU laid out is so plausible it made me chuckle. That Rams game is tough, @ GB tough, @ Chi will not be easy, Saints @ home, @ Seattle, @ Philly. 

Brutal...But then again MN is going to be a very tough out for each and every one of em too. 

I just keep thinking to last season. After starting 2-2 and looking like a team that would struggle to be .500 again. Well they win all but 1 to finish the season. If they can be that team again. Minus the NFCC melt down. Why should we be worried about how tough our opponents are. I don't sense any kind of hangover from what I've heard. In fact seems like only the fans bring up that melt down.

Think we start 2-2.
I don't think Seattle will be as tough as years past, there's been turnaround there, so we take them.
Drop to Eagles
I think we kick the shit outta NO.  We WONT let them into the game again.
Split with the Puke
drop another along the way probably a (trap game)

11-5 or 12-4
