I think anything less than 8 wins is unacceptable, especially for the front office, this year. After two 7-9 seasons, we should definently be able to improve and be atleast 8-8 this year. We play the NFC and AFC west, which do have some tough teams like the Chargers and Seahawks, but I think we are on even ground with most of the other teams and should be able to grab a few wins out of those games.
Out of the Jacksonville and Cleveland game, we get one win against the Browns. I don't care what you say but Monday night at the Ralph we better not lose to this team in that environment (not saying they aren't good but that is one win I really want this year).
In our division, I am still gonna say we lose two games to the pats. We are not at their level yet and are still not proven at quarterback (although I think Edwards has the potential to be the answer). We should be able to get 3 wins out of the other 4 division games. With the addition of Stroud, Mitchell, Johnson, and our draft I think 9-7 is a legitimate final record.
