Simulating the 2010 Season

I do think it is a bit high and 13-3 for Pgh could be more like it.

Such unbridled optimism (for Pittsburgh)!

Seriously, None, of us know what JC will accomplish, but it has been shown repeatedly that he has the ability to take the offense to the next level. It has been a long off-season, and the debate won't be settled until the season starts. For the record; I think 13-3 is possible, 10-6 to 12-4 is very likely, anything less, will be very disappointing, and also very unlikely.

I also am hoping that the Skins win the division, conference and SB.

Its hard not to like Pgh's chances considering how well they did without a running game or o-line.

I agree that we dont know what JC will accomplish but I think the one thing he hasnt shown is any ability to take the offense to the next level. Thats what all the discussion is about, can he show something to make the Skins think he's worth resigning. Be prepared to be very disappointed, this is a 7 to 9 win team.

I promise to prepare to be disappointed as long as you promise to prepare to be pleasantly surprised.

I am sorry, but that is really just a ridiculous assertion. Could we be, unlikely but it is the NFL. Our schedule is nearly identical to last year. We were 8-8 last year. Setting aside Balt. Pitt and the 2 Giants games for this discussion, the other games that we lost turned on several flukish plays, the St. Louis game particularly will not be a repeat this year, and the SF game also, I am cynical enough to believe that the loss was not mourned because of the draft status it gave us. Throw in the fact that SD, Den, KC, and Oakland are way below the talent level of Pitt Balt Cleveland and Cincy, and for our team to do less then 8-8 would really be a major major development. You add in an AH, and we should easily be 10-6. And I am convinced that there is no way that the Giants sweep us again, although we may not sweep the Eagles, we certainly will win at least three in the division, and sweeping Dallas is highly likely.

PS Burgundy Koolaid is the best (i don't know that I trust where the gold has been )

Hard to show an indicate of future success to someone who has their eyes shut.
