We've got a brutal schedule - it's going to be tough to win ten.

I think they can. Although this past loss makes 9 more likely.

Yes. The defense got hammered with injuries last year(Kwon, tartt, Ford, Blair, demontre Moore, D.J. Jones, Sherman) and was giving up around 30 a game for a stretch and we still only lost 1 game in there. We had the 2nd highest scoring offense. Of course we can we a lot of games. Just need our RB's and QB back and we'll start rolling.

I think we can but I don't think that we pull it off.
Odds are just not working in our favor right now. With all the injuries continuing to pile up and the heart of the season approaching I just don't think it will be pulled off. Jimmy missing valuable time against weaker teams just to get thrown in rusty against elite teams will not bode well unfortunately.
Our D is hurting and although our D Line played OK it just wasn't enough as we were gashed several times on key 3rd and longs. Baldy not changing his tune against mobile QB's isnt helping.
On the bright side...I think our WR are gaining some experience. Really want to see how that group plays going forward because a mixture of them and infamous Kittle and a run game could really make our chances better to hit ten games.
Here's to 2020. This season is for the birds. Injuries are like nothing I have ever seen. We will at some point be playing with less than half of our SB team on both sides of the ball. Every team at some point will be or look beatable. At the end of the season JG will still have ?'s and unfortunately everyone will say that it was the Superbowl Curse that got us while that's simply not true. Most likely 8-9 wins while being impacted by COVID and Injuries.

It is possible but it is going to take some luck. People are s**tting on Shanny but show me a coach who could do more with no starting QB, down two running backs, down both top pass rushers, down all of their corners, and short a couple other quality starters to boot. It isn't going to happen. Our best bet is to stay .500 until we get at least some of the horses back and then make a run for the finish. The Pass rush isn't coming back and that is a problem, and if too many of the others take too long that is also a problem, The back half schedule is hard and that is a problem, but it is possible. I wouldn't bet on it, but we have the talent and the coaches to pull it off. Hell I don't even know if the season will finish....much less if we can pull it off, but it definitely can be done with the talent we have here, just going to take some luck and that is in short supply.

This may not be true. Were just so snakebitten as a fan base we don't expect it to. Could have Ford and Blair out there soon enough, but not holding my breath. We just dont have that level of 'Seattle' luck. I mean K'waun Williams is out now and Seattle talking about DJ Reed looking good and probably coming back this year.

At this point, not likely. Though 9-7 could be good enough to make the playoffs in the new system.

I was coming to say the same thing. I do wish I could be a clueless fan and think this team is gonna win 10 games. I've never seen a team this depleted with injuries, it blows but it is what it is. The Eagles shredded the defense, The Eagles - let that sit in.

It feels Very Similar to 2014. High expectations, only for this season to be derailed by a ton of Injuries.
