Dare I say 7? So my theory is that Shanny will have us starting off hot.... like 4-1 then we taper off to 2-3, so now we are 6-4, then we finish with a winning record the last 6 games. 4-2, which makes us 10-6, I think somewhere in there, it will be a game we might pull off, with a lil magic.... maybe 11-5, So my final anaylis is that we finish the division, the top team in our division or second place. Which 10 gets us in the playoff's, 11 get's us a home game. I can see us doing something special in the playoff's and maybe losing the 2nd playoff game going into 2011 with Superbowl asperations.

The enthusiasm is great, however transitions take time.

Your Top 10 Defense could possibly have a completely different look if Shanny and (Your DC Here) implement a hybrid 3-4 defense similar to the Steelers and Patriots. I don't see the dropoff being great, but it's going to take time for the defense to re-gel and assure that they don't let games slip away in the waning moments. And while Shanny is an offensive genius as you call him, it's going to take time to teach up the offensive line (whomever is left over plus whomever comes in via draft and free agency) the new blocking schemes. Plus while the offense is similar in nature, there is going to be a learning curve, especially if Campbell is here running the show while Bradford/Clausen/Tebow/McCoy learn the ropes.

10-11 wins would be awesome, but is it realistic? Any improvement is good improvement. I think 7 wins with 2 coming in division would be a vast improvement over the 4 wins and 0 division wins from this year. I'd say 10-11 wins might be possible in 2011, but more probably in 2012.

I'm chalking up about 7-8 loses there. I'm thinking 8-8 season. Which compared to this season, will be fantastic for a team in rebuilding mode.

our toughest games are at home which in one way is good (homefield advantage) and in another way sucks (if we lose.. it's at home... the games we're most likely to go to, the ones that season ticket holders have, etc)

Maybe we'll get lucky and Favre will hang it up after this season?

I care less about our record next season. I want our team to compete professionally. I want our offensive line rebuilt. I want our younger players getting real time on the field. I want our players being used to maximize their abilities and not as square pegs in round holes. I want this team to become a foundational team. One that does all the anti-glitz and glamor stuff right in spite of their record.

Exactly my thoughts

here here! I don't expect this team to win a playoff spot. If they start to put pieces together, then i'll get excited year 2 or 3.

There's no way anybody could have said it any better.

good post, and i agree. the first thing that came to mind after the giants game was what i was watching wasn't even professional football. im not sure what it was? i have never seen the skins look like that, even in some of the bad years. i hope to god we will never look like that again. while i do care about our record, lets get top the point where we are competitive EVERY week

You nailed it.

I would be ecstatic with a 9-7 wild card birth.

I agree with Daseal we have to crawl before we walk. The changes that have taken place have given us hope, now we need to see hope transform into reality. I'll be watching.

I really was pulling for Gruden but since the writting is on the wall. M.Shanahon is a proven coach but I'm not that familiar with him. What type of offense does he run again? I am excited to see what he does with the O-LINE.

Like most have said just discipline and a true chain of command no more, i got a big contract so i wont keep my conditioning attitudes. I truly hope DS keeps his relationships with the players professional and that he doesnt give the players that option where he is available for consultation.
