W3- 9/27: Seahawks — We lose by 14 points. : 0-3
W4- 10/4: Colts (@ London) — We are flat & Danny Dimes bites us again. : 0-4
W5- 10/11: Giants — Finally, a win. : 1-4
W6- 10/19: @ 49ers- MNF — Another loss. : 1-5
W7- 10/25: Bye
W8- 11/1:Eagles- SNF — Eagles sweep us. : 1-6
W9: 11/8: Rams — Blowout loss. : 1-7
W10- 11/12: @ Giants- TNF — Upset loss. : 1-8

Dan Quinn is fired. Anthony Lynn is named interim coach, since he has previous head coaching experience.

W11- 11/23: Bengals- MNF — Upset Win. : 2-8
W12- 11/29: @ Cardinals — Win: 3-8
W13- 12/6: @ Titans — Win: 4-8
W14- 12/13: Texans — Loss. : 4-9
W15- 12/20: Falcons — Win: 5-9
W16- TBD: Vikings — Win: 6-9
W17- TBD: @ Jaguars — Loss: 6-10
W18- TBD: Cowboys — Win: 7-10

Just an ugly start that leads to Dan’s firing but we rebound some by finishing 6-2, after starting 1-8. We beat Dallas, whether their starters play or not in the finale.

I think AP should go but Josh keeps AP and gives him a second chance and shot at second coaching hire.
I feel you on this one. If we stay relatively healthy (for this team, that's such a big if), I think we sneak one of the first three games for no reason. I think Philly might look past us, so I think we're 1-2 going into the Colts game. That game is such a toss up to me, I have us winning a close one. Beyond that, no one in the NFC(E) is so dominant that I can't see us shitting the bed consistently enough to be nothing less than a wildcard contender. Defense should be improved, we have some better skill players on offense (looking at you Diggs/Williams) so if we keep JD upright, we've got a shot.

AP has lost his luster for me too. He started off SO well and has just trailed off with some questionable moves the past few seasons. Overall, he's fine, but I really thought he was the guy.

I wouldn’t say that. RR drafted multiple first rounders that aren’t even on a team or who have been at best average players. Jamin Davis, Jahan Dotson, and Emmanuel Forbes were unforgivable picks. Chase was expected by pretty much everyone to be great and had a good room one year, but injury + unwillingness to do anything more than rely on innate talent was his doom. RR may be one of the worst talent evaluators ever.
