PYMWYMI 2019 - UPDATE 9/4

Sure losses are:

@ LA Rams ...first game with them , there.......sure loser. We aren't ready,...YET.

Packers....altho question of whether new HC and ARodgers can get along...they still seem to have our number

New Orleans....just don't see us beating that freight train this yr. Not yet . If we got a 2nd chance this yr against them... maybe so

@SEA ...winning twice up there in two yrs? Unlikely.


That's 4 Ls.


Then Tampa on E. Coast, and 1st game....that could be L also. Literally we don't have our "stuff" together. Maybe just mass chaos and confusion, altho TB will have same situation.

Baltimore? Could be another L, and they always play tough. Their new QB? Not impressed. We could lose this one too.

Steelers here...Big Ben is getting not just older, but OLD. Love their HC, and before Kyle, always wanted him. He is always tough. Could be loss here.

That would be 3 more Ls bringing us to :


9-7.



So, if Oline shows up, Garland, Garnett, Wes Johnson, Toran, Person (is healthy), Richburg is healthy, Laken continues to improve....okay i could see us with just 4 Ls.

But if not and some of OLine above doesn't make team, or stays injured, then i could see 3 more Ls, bring s to 9-7. Essentially all boils down to Bosa, Dee Ford, and interior OL, plus DBs....and...and.... JG has to be healthy all yr. If all those guys come thru, and that is a lot of IFs, then 12-4.

More likely tho, with injury at C and OG, and replacements are just so so, then : 9-7

Which will it be? IDK, but if we happen to go 12-4, there is no way of knowing how far can we go. Anything is possible, but a run at a ring....pretty long odds....this yr.


A disaster this yr would be that we end up with 19 , or worse, 21 guys on IR. Should that happen a 2nd yr in a row, same record as last yr.

I can't go with 2 predictions, so betting on injuries once again being a problem...but nowhere near as serious as before... i will go officially with:

9-7

We haven't won in Seattle in like 6-7 years. We finally beat them last year in our stadium in like 5 years.

7-9. I have spent much time in prayerful reflection on this.

We have a brutal schedule. To be a playoff team or even above .500, think about how every "unknown" has to break our way: Jimmy has to live up to the billing, at least one WR has to emerge as a real #1, the pass rush has to be everything we think it can be, the secondary has to prove itself (even with an improved pass rush, hot routes could murder us), the interior o-line has to come together, and overall team health has to be stable.

Every one of those things has to break our way to be a contender this season. I just think that that's a lot to ask. I hope I'm shocked and it's a crazy ride like 2001 or 2011 all over again. But, failing that, we will have some incremental progress and then have to watch ownership decide if that's good enough or not.

8-7-1 and we make the playoffs.

6-10

So many ways this season could go. We could win 4 or 10 games and neither would drastically surprise me. Soo I'll just split down the middle and have a small bit of hope.

9-7.

I say we go 5-11. We've got a brutal schedule and we're still in the middle of a rebuild.

Yeah most rebuilds take about 10 years and we are only 5 years in.

Seachickens or Bucs

I thought our schedule was suppose to get easier when you have one of the worst seasons.
