Better days ahead. (Off season part 1 thread)

[JoeRedskin]

Matching this year's record is going to be tough next year. We play lots of really good teams outside the division.

As yesterday's game showed, we have lots of holes - team speed on D, interior OL, RB, blocking TE. We need to beat good teams and that will be tough for this team. We are heading in the right direction though. We have a solid QB going forward and the makings of a good line - still a couple pieces short.

I would not be surprised if we go 8-8 next year but be a better team than this year.

This.

Expectations next year for record - somewhere between 7-9 and 9-7. However, I do expect us to be more competitive against the better teams in the league.

We still need a lot of work on the roster. Speed on defense and depth across the board.

That being said, I don't think it is far fetched to think in two years we could be a consistent 10 win team. Great year. Great nucleus. Great foundation.
