GeorgeM37 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 That schedule.....sheesh.....it looks like another recap of this past season as far as wins are concerned.... I thought we were a last place team?? That does not look easy in the slightest.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
time2rock Posted January 4, 2021 Author Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't know, that schedule doesn't appear as difficult as some of you are making it out to be. It is all going to come down to (1) the team we field (Howie has a lot of work to do to put together a viable team), (2) injuries (partly related to 1), (3) QB play, and (4) scheme / play calling on both offense and defense (obviously the latter is TBD without knowing who our DC will be). Anyway, if we somehow escape the injury bug that has plagued this team for the past 4 years and still end up a 4-6 win team with that schedule, bigger changes will need to be made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wins will be determined by how good the Birds are, not their opponents. The Chiefs are the only team I'd be worriied about if our team is firing on all cylinders.

Road schedule seems the easiest in a long time. Agreed. With Brees out of the picture the Eagles should beat the Saints again! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trying to guess the amount of wins for a schedule before the previous season is even over is a major reach. Be more concerned with the sate of the franchise for the next 3 years. Trying to predict the record before the year starts (even the first few games) is nigh on impossible. Some bad teams can improve a lot (Niners last year), some good teams can lose good players etc and not be as good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First thing we need to do is USE the pieces we DO have(Sanders/Fulgham/Mailata etc). Second thing is smash the itunes that are playing the songs for the musical chair O line Third, find REAL S&C staff so we don't have a sideline full of blue tents 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That won't cure all but it will be a big help. Second is likely giving more priority to medical history during player evaluation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One year...draft the guys with the best NCAA stats, ignore the rest. Another year...draft the guys with the highest motor and passion for playing football, ignore the rest. Last year...draft the fastest guys in a straight line to compensate for the fact we've ignore that for years. Ignore the rest. Maybe now they exclusively draft guys who missed 0 time in college and ignore the rest. They consistently miss out on better players because of ignoring the big picture.
