I could easily see the lack of depth we have on the offensive line, WR corps, or defensive backs really hurting us.We have a tough schedule, and even against teams we think we should beat easily, we tend to 'play at our opponents level'. I could easily see us losing to teams like the Texans, Browns, etc, due to such conservative strategy of always trying to win the game late, letting the other team hang around, and generally playing to your opponents level.7-9.

I agree. As long as we can play well against the Broncs and the Chargers, they may come out fine. These two teams, along with the Colts are about the only real road blocks. As long as they put their hearts into it and not make any dumb mistakes on the field, we might go 10-6, but that may not be good enough to make the playoffs. If we do make the playoffs, I don't see them going very far after that.

Problem is 10-6 might not get us into the playoffs this year. As long as we split Denver and San Diego we ill be just fine. When looking at our schedule I see us at 4-3 at the bye week. After that we should only suffer 2 or 3 losses. At Indy will be tough as will at Denver, but Detroit, Jets, Tennessee, Oakland, Green Bay. These should all be wins. Denver and S.D. after the bye will make or break our season.

Jeremy, it is hard to argue with your logic. Our team will rise and fall with the play of our defense, and I really do believe they could be a top ten defense…if that is true and LJ is fine then 10-6 is not as much as a long shot as some of the pundits might think. But it will probably take a few timely turnovers or an opponent not being as good as we think they are to put us over the top…I'm ready for such a turn of events!

Larry Johnson is a horse and will be just fine. Damon Huard will get better as the season progresses. The difference between 10- 6 and 8-8 will be the defense. An improved Defense could squeak us into the playoffs. However, (although it pains me to say so), we will go 9-7 as our schedule is just too difficult. I hope they prove me wrong.
