We probably will win 9 or 10 games...if we've actually been able to purge all the poor players and coaches from our team.
Suisham was something like 21/24 on the season. If he goes 22/24, we do win the Saints game, but if Gano goes something like 17/25, maybe we lose two games like that and finish 6-10. Because of the situation around that awful kick (game is effectively over if a 19 yd kick goes through), I'm not going to argue that we'll lose more games, but we'll probably lose a few points over last year unless we can score more TDs.
Getting rid of Zorn/Blache can't hurt on gamedays. I have no qualms of a Shanahan/Shanahan/Haslett power trio being outschemed by the coaches in our division, which is nice, but taking years off of the legs of Portis and Larry Johnson, and making Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly sound route runners who flash good hands is probably beyond the realm of coaching.
On the other hand, getting Santana Moss to act like a professional football player and not a big-man-on-campus is probably easily teachable.
