Official What Will our Record Be Thread

[RugbyMuffin]

I say the median for this team is: 9-7

The ball bounces our way, 10-6

The ball bounces their way, 8-8

That being said. The 9-7 record will be a "better" 9-7 record than last year. We have some tough games against quality opponents.

Nice to see Detriot back on the schedule, it felt wierd not playing them last year.

Games circled on the calender

Week 5: Texans <-- I hope we beat the heck out of this team. Traveled all the way down to Texas last time they played, and they beat us.......stupid Texans, stupid McCown
Week 6: Hawks
Weekd 10: Hawks

True, 5 teams that won 10 or more games last year.

However our out of division opponents were even tougher last year. 98-55-1 and included 4 division winners. Including the playoffs the Cards played 6 games against division champs and 3 against Wild Card teams.

Makes getting to the Super Bowl even more impressive to me.

I predict 7-9 because that is what the previous year's SB loser seems to always do.

I really don't see SF being an issue at all. All the 9er fans who think they are going to come into the home opener and beat us is kidding themselves. Jags game will be tough but I like us as at home against Indy. Conservative at 1-1.

Again I don't think enough respect is being given to our ability to play at home. Much like the Seahawks in 05 until we show we don't do it anymore (ala SEA last year) we should be a favorite at home against every team - especially a team like a Houston. Especially after a bye. So thats a win. Lets then be pessimistic and say we lose at SEA and NY. So 3-3.

Panthers are going to take a step back IMO - thats a win at home. I like us against Chicago as it wont be too cold and that team made that Cutler trade with 2010 and 2011 in mind. They don't have the firepower for us nextyear in a game that would project to be seasonable. And Seattle at home seems like a win to me. I also like us playing in a dome in STL. so 4-0 there. At Tennesse could be a loss - and so could Minny as I don't like the way they match up. 1-1 there with the lss being Minny IMO.

At SF is a toss up but I am obviously thinking their fans are not as close as they think you are. I will take a win there as well as at Detroit. St Louis at home should be a win and I see GB being a powerhouse and a possible defeat. So 3-1 there.

So I see 11- 5 with a possibility of losing one more toss up game (SF, CHI) and if relatively healthy 10-6.

I think the key is that Wiz will be stressing the importance of the regular season this year and will be pumping the guys to come out every game and try to get home field.

I will be pessimisstic and say 10-6. The really nice thing is that if a catastrophe happens (kurt injured 3+ games) while that would kill any other team I truly believe we have the personnel and coaching and back up quarterbacking to "bottom out" as a 7 win team or so.

Thats saying something and probably more then anything makes me excited for the season. We have a ceiling is the limit potential but the worst case scenario should still keep us in playoff contention.

11-5

I was originally gonna say 10-6, and I think it likely will be that. I am guessing we lose one more, either Carolina, Chicago or a divisional opponent.

 

[RugbyMuffin]

10-6

Really ? Another Pens fan on the board ?

That would make you, Stout and myself. Too bad DTV blacks out Philly hockey games. I gotta listen on the radio.

Might as well put my "if Boldin is traded" record.

I think if the Cardinals trade Boldin they will lose one or two more games next year.

So about 8-8, 9-7 if we are lucky. 7-9 if we are not.

If the team starts doubting themselves, then the team has a real chance of going 6-10. If that happens I expect double digit losing seasons for another 3 years.

Fluke is the most dangerous word in the dictionary for the Cardinals, IMO. I think winning this year will be more important than last, in regards to image, and having players believe in the system.

I think the Cardinal are taking a huge risk but thinking about screwing around with the passing game. Since there is no running game, and shut down defense to rely on.

I can't predict individual games but I say 6-2 at home and 4-4 on the road...thats where my 10-6 comes from.
