    Yea, averaging ten points higher per game with Schaub as QB is verrrry insignificant.

    Personally I thought they have a harder schedule this upcoming season so matching the 10 wins we had would of been awesome..

    But with all the cuts / lack of depth (so far) I don't see better than 8 wins.

    people just lose their minds in the offseason...

    we are the most complete team in our division even after the cuts.

    if the defense performs at the level they did last year, we are superbowl contenders

    That's not saying much.

    Maybe if you said conference...

    If we believe this team is considered elite in the conference (as many think), 10 wins should be a given even with that schedule.

    I agree. Fans will not be satisfied if they dont make it to the playoffs. Because we know they can.

    I expect a trip to the big show, the defense will be refined and a fully operational and pumped up Arian will make a push for 2000 yards

    AFC Championship at the very least. This is still a very very young team. Your stars on defense Watt, Barwin, Reed, Cushing these are guys yet to hit their primes. Remember we had a short offseason, a new coordinator switching to a new system. I fully expect the D to be even better even without Demeco and Mario.

    On offense obviously it comes down to Schaub and AJ remaining healthy.

    The OL is a genuine concern.

    Look at the defenses we played with Yates. Some of the toughest in the league for the most part.

    They lived up to the Raised Expectations.
    They have exceeded them

    A Playoff win is a MUST IMO

    They have been horrible down the stretch though. This team has seriously regressed in all phases of the game, with the offensive regression being the most pronounced.
