No change........... 12-13 wins. I think they blow the JEST out in week 1.

Moss will be fine, and they'd be fine without him as well. To be honest, I wonder if we can even say it much of a HUGE step down going with Green in there, particularly bracketed by W&W. Big Sey is Big Sey and all, but the guy is oft-injured, so that trio has spent time in there together without him. We'll be fine up front. Also, as good as Harrison looked in camp, he's barely been around the's last few years and we've done fine, no reason to think that doesn't continue.

Sure, not having them there will have an impact. Will it be such an impact as to cause us to lose games? I'm not so sure you could say that.

i haven't sat down, dusted off the crystal ball and come up with my prediction yet, but I've had them 12--4 or 11--5 since the Draft and FA (i know that this is on the low side out here, but either is a very good record against a tough schedule and in the face of a lot of uncertainty over the first few games with the new receivers, but either will win the division and 12--4 will get a bye this year IMO). (I had them 13--3 last season. Didn't count on the Jests biting us in the butt in Foxboro.)

After the Panthers game I was leaning 12--4 and will think about it a little more. i had always assumed that we would be without one of Rodney or Richard, but I had also assumed that Asante would be traded like Branch, so i don't think it will change that much.
