I was cautiously optimistic before last year, I didnt think wed make offs, but I thought the team was going to be better than most people predicted. I banked that on getting a better OC than Roman thus boosting offense, us still having some good defensive talent and the potential of baalke project pics at least panning out somehow (
). Anyway, once the Aldon thing happened, I already knew it wasnt finna go how I thought it would be.
This year, basically zero expectations. I dont believe we'll be utter trash like winning 2-3 games, but I don't see us being able to get even as much as 8 wins either even if all stars align right.
I believe Chip will make the offense better, but then aside from QBs and maybe RBs, Chip had much better talent on offense in Philly, and also objectively, playing 6 times against cards/hawks/rams is far different than giants/cowboys/skins.
And defense will probably let some teams score at will. We have shytty pass rush (and no pass rush when Lynch is suspended), our secondary cant cover, tackle or produce turnovers...and our Dline is in the process of re-shuffling and while it has some key pieces its too young/inexperienced to carry a defense...and I dont think a team can afford to play shytty defense in NFC West.
