Regular Season Record: What say you ?!?!

[RugbyMuffin]

After we got our tails whipped a little bit, and got taken off cloud nine, what do you think the Cardinal record will be this season.

I still go with 10-6.

I think this team will stumble at some point this year and lose 4 in row, and bounce back with a huge win streak against some top teams.

 

[blindseyed]

9-7

 

[az jam]

8 - 8 and miss the playoffs. Too many weaknesses in our defense.

 

[conraddobler]

9-7 is the best I can come up with, our schedule is murderers row, we could be 6-10 or worse if anything goes wrong.

10-6 would mean we've arrived, not this year I'm afraid.

 

[seesred]

10-6 maybe even 11 wins are possable. We will win the bulk of our home games. 6-8 wins. Got to find 4-5 wins on the rode. All bets are off if aqny major injuries.

[Perfectionist]

If we beat San Fransico opening day, we will go 11-5, but if we loose 9-7.

 

[CaptTurbo]

9-7 win division.

 

[LVG]

I will hold the 10-6 and win the division.

 

[cgolden]

I will hold the 10-6 and win the division.

 

[TJ]

I'm sticking with 10-6. I refuse to waiver until I see what this team does in the REGULAR SEASON

 

[82CardsGrad]

It's all a total function of our performance at home. We suck on the road... There are only 2 road games this season where we might have a shot - Rams and Detroit, and we typically don't play well at Detroit...

Our Home schedule is a very tough one this year. The 9ers and Hawks will be much improved over last season. I am more confident of our chances against the Hawks than I am with the 9ers. The Rams of course will suck and there is no reason why we shouldn't destroy them.
That leaves the Colts, Texans, Panthers, Vikings and Packers... Candidly, I can see each one of those teams beating us... Hell, the Pack just made us look like a Div II team as Rogers ripped us to shreads...

Being as objective as I can be, I would say that we will beat all of our division opponents at home. I think we will lose to both the 9ers and Hawks on the road. I think we will beat the Colts, Texans and Panthers at home.
That means we go 6 & 2 at home. If we can somehow pick up 3 road wins, we get to a total of 9 W's. I am just not that confident about going 3 & 5 on the road... If we can grab a W at S.F. or Seattle, that would be HUGE, which means just our 5th game of the season (@ Seattle) is a gigantic game for us! We win, and I like our chances of getting to 9 W's for the season. If we lose that game, I think we go 8 & 8.

So there ya have it...

 

[SECTION 11]

11-5, based on a vastly improved running game.

 

[CardLogic]

I am more of a procrastinater than prognosticater. I am going to wait to decide!

 

[Cardsfanstl]

11-5, based on a vastly improved running game.

I second that. 11-5

Further breakdown 7-1 at home (Lose to the Packers in a meaningless game). 4-4 on the road (lose to Seahawks, Jaquars, Giants, and Titans)

 

[MadCardDisease]

10-6

 

[LVCARDFREAK]

9-7

 

[Lloydian]

I'm going to make a prediction that is unusually pessimistic for me. I'm going with 15-1. Yeah, ignore me, but I'm standing by that one.

 

[PJ1]

I go with 9-7. We will be better but so will the division.

 

[MrYeahBut]

I'll join the crowd at 9-7, even though I feel we might go only 8-8

12-4


Am I really that much of a homer?

 

[WildBB]

I'm hoping based on last years playoff run that we're a 10-6 team and knock off a good team on the road and hopefully can go 5-1 or at least 4-2 in the division. With a 6-2 home record.

 

[CardsFan88]

11-5

Was going to go 12-4, but we aren't hitting on all cylinders (offense). I think other than the last game our D has been pretty good. We all know (or suspect we know) that our offense will be fine. But maybe it takes a few weeks. Hard to say. But I've felt very good about this team. I feel this a much better team than last years, and we have the benefit of having last year as experience. I also feel our running game will be light years ahead of any cardinals team this decade +.

But losing only 4 games is a great season. We may get there. But I'll take 11-5. That said I can see us 8-8 and being 'better'. But I think things come together for us, and we're a better team. Harder schedule or not 11-5 is my prediction.

 

[cardpa]

7-9 no playoffs

 

[CtCardinals78]

10-6 with 11-5 being a real possibility

 

[PoolBoy]

last year i said i hope 10-6 but probably 9-7.

This year i say hopefully 11-5 but probably 10-6
