The Annual Guess the Record Thread

I’m asking you which teams have good wr5s in response to you saying a majority of nfl teams are 5 deep at WR.
I couldnt care less about being 5 deep if #5 is no good

Jets have a veteran WR5 that beat out Hansen. Hes a vet and provides them good depth.

Andre Roberts

so far, looked at 4 teams and only the Bills can't lay claim to a better 5

Dolphins - Jakeem Grant
Steelers - Eli Rogers

it would be easier for you to list who you think Hansen is better than

11-5

And that’s being optimistic.

It will win the division but the playoffs could be tough as they are really thin at WR and LB, and possibly OL

That's pretty much where I am, and for the same reasons as you, but I come down on 10-6.
* Lose to JAX and GB
* Lose to two of HOU, KC, MIN, PIT
* Annual divisional loss
* And I think this year we have a bonus divisional loss.

Yours and my definition of "bonus" seem wildly different.

Yep

I debated the two records but went optimist because they always figure **** out. I will be really interested to see if they can establish a really good run game, and the same for pass rush. Actually a lot more interesting than the seasons where we expect them to roll.

Well as of right now, that would be Riley McCarron.

So you think we go 2-4 against (possibly) good teams and 4-2 against the 3 crappy teams in our division?
That would be a major change from what this team has been under Belichick and Brady.
Basically it would be the worst team in about 10 years. What do you attribute the precipitous drop off too?

Andre Roberts lol.
I guess we would feel better about our team if we had kept Decker?
Eli Rogers would be Pittsburgh’s 3 or 4 (depending on their rookie) if he wasn’t suspended
Having no one is better than heywatd-bey or Justin hunter who will be their wr5 when Rogers is back.
Jaleem Grant? 2 years in the nfl zero receptions. 5’7 169 LBs.
Lol. Keep trying, you are 0 for 3 so far.

That’s because you are rooting for different things

Pats start 2-2 and everyone here panics. Media says the cliff is finally here, as Brady's numbers are, in fact, down, largely due to the WR issue and a defense that hasn't gotten itself together yet.

But they settle in, as they always do, and go on a tear. Finish 12-4, secure a top-2 seed in the AFC, and reach the AFCCG at a minimum.

That was my prediction before the season started, and it's looking good so far. I thought they might lose to Houston and I was pretty confident they'd lose here in Jax.

The good news today is that we got our yearly circus catch against us out of the way early. So there’s that.

Talent, and the lack thereof.

Wow even 3 months ago, this could be a bullseye prediction. Well done!

Still sticking with my 11-5, although I certainly hope that I’m wrong! 12-4 looks so much better!
