2023-24 NFL Predictions Thread • Page 4

I gave them wins against: NO, MIN, HOU, IND, @TB, @NO, ATL, GB, TB

5-1 in the division might be a little optimistic, but the schedule (especially the home schedule) is pretty easy so I could see above .500 happening even if they drop one of the New Orleans games

 

My 2023 Broncos dream is for any of these to happen.
1.Win Super Bowl
2.Beat the Chiefs twice
3.Beat the Chiefs once

 

I think everyone in here is valid to doubt that Trevor makes it to a Super Bowl but that ain’t gonna stop me from hoping for it.

Realistically, this year is the first year we have the roster to even compete for real, let alone trying to make it all the way. We definitely overperformed last year… 9-8 plus winning a wild card game was my absolute ceiling projection for them last offseason, and it took 4 multi-score game winning comebacks to make that happen. We also have a harder schedule this year.

However, the biggest reason we overperformed is because Doug’s offense finally started clicking, he started calling better plays and Trevor started executing. A lot of our core defensive players were rookies or second years last year as well, and we saw measurable, objective improvement on that side of the ball too. Factor in Calvin Ridley, better offensive tackles taking Jawaan Taylor and Cam Robinson’s jobs, and far better depth at RB to rotate with Etienne… and there’s plenty of reason to believe we are on a steep incline and the league still might be underestimating us.

So my more realistic “hope” for 2023 is, 11 wins + Trevor takes another step forward statistically with better weapons (maybe 4600 yards 33 touchdowns 12 INT or something like that)

 

Are people already calling the Jags offensive tackles better than Jawaan Taylor and Cam Robinson?

 

Walker Little was already better than Cam Robinson.

 

So Robinson is gonna be benched after his suspension then?

Listen, I’m very invested in the Jags this year for Doug and Ridley, obviously, but also because I have TLaw and Ridley on my fantasy team. I need that offensive line to be competent.

 

I still have no idea because there are way too many factors involved and they've been rumored to favor like 10 different scenarios.

If all five starters are good, let it ride.
If Anton is the weak link, Little to RT, Cam back to LT.
If Bartch is the weak link, Little to LG, Cam back to LT.
If Little is great, Anton is good, but Bartch isn't, then Cam to RT, Anton to LG.

Honestly, though, Cam should be the one fighting for his job the most. Move him to guard tbh.

 

my best guess would be that someone gets banged up in the first 4 weeks of the season and it works itself out

 

Eagles aren’t losing to a team with an offensive line like the Bengals’

 

Yeah, no way would the Eagles lose to a team with Orlando Brown at left tackle.

or Alex Cappa at guard.

 

lmao got em

 

You can choose not to be like this

 

He's too old to change

man knows ball

 

Anton has the potential to be better than either but he had a rough week 1

Walker Little is better and younger than Cam even if only slightly so far

if you throw in two younger tackles and only see a slight decline in tackle play, I’d say that’s better - they still have room to grow whereas Robinson and Taylor are what they are at this point

 

woof to alot of this so far

 

dang, you know ball
