More Caveats

Oh yes, two other disclaimers. while i like our chances vs. the Niners and Bears, beware west coast travel and Chicago after Halloween.

The Niners would have been a super bowl contender with McNabb, why they didn't pursue him more vigorously we'll never know. But they still should be plenty good to beat us in a regular season home game. And can we really count on Jay Cutler to throw several back breaking INTs again?

PK says:

5-11 is a possibility, when you think about. Muff 1 of those early season games that should be a win - like Jax - and it could all spin the wrong way.

I don't think it's fair to say we split against Dallas, they beat us 3 times last year, twice very badly. As for the Skins, they had a better defense than ours the past 2 seasons or so. It might not show up statistically, we might be slightly better than them, but that's with our offense being so good. Their offense sucked open ass, had tons of 3 and outs, and yet their D kept fighting.

With a good offense, Skins D will be a Top 5 defense this year.
