Well for sure we know Devin, Kelly, and Davis will be penciled in as starters next year. I'm also excited about Marko having another full year of camp under his belt. I really think 10-6 or 11-5 is realistic next season.

And I haven't even started drinking Kool Aid yet!

Slow down hoss, lol. Our schedule is beyond brutal next year (Indy, GB, Minnesota, Houston are just the home games out of the division!) so a big jump in wins is going to be very tough but we will be much improved, even if the standings don't immediately reflect it.

Damn, that is pretty tough. But I think 10-6 is in order.

Maybe we'll get lucky and play Indy and GB after they have locked up #1 or #2 in their respective conferences. Maybe Minnesota will win the superbowl and Favre will retire. APs hit a wall and their offense will be nothing without Favre. Ok, i think that's enough optomism for me for one day...

Dude, seriously if you are this disgruntled with the Skins maybe you should jump on a current winning teams band wagon and then come back here in a year or two, damn

Maybe Minny will lose their QB and not be as tough. And maybe Houston just lost their offense...to us.

Next year some of those teams on there might look like powderpuffs, though I wouldn't count on Indy being one of them. Green Bay on the other hand could go either way, and Minnesota....well Brett Farve + Offseason. Houston, well they're tough offensively but I think if we get a football team going we can beat them, though it's not like we have a whole lot of room to talk about beating teams, at least for now.

Wow, 10-11 wins? We have holes at QB, 3-4 OLmen, CB, RB, and we couldn't win 5 games in 2009. It will be a good year if we win 8 games.

I think we lost at least four or five games on coaching; two on Suisham's foot alone. This team doesn't lack effort or talent, the guys leading the team just didn't get the best out of the 53 man roster. That's the trick in the NFL. It's not having a roster full of Pro-Bowlers, it's getting the best out of a bunch of average Joes.

Look, every team has holes. The Vikings, the Saints, the Colts, on and on. Our deficiencies were so glaring because our guys weren't prepared and properly coached week in and week out. So I think a great/good coaching staff closes that gap by at least four or five games.

That's what I'm thinking. there's always that team that wins a few more than everyone really thinks they could, but I don't think we can expect a winning team in 2010. A competitive team, yes.

I think Shanny is smart to praise JC for now; he knows how to publicly raise the value of his players & get the max out of trades, so if a few teams are interested I expect a tender & subsequent deal. I'd like to see JC stay though.

So Cooley is either getting traded or benched?

Neither. I think they'll pretty much split playing time, Cooley will get a lot of looks. But I think Cooley has lost his starting role.

EDIT: Technically, yes, Cooley will be benched in my opinion.

Oh for what it's worth, a good friend who's fairly close to the Allen family confirmed what someone else here mentioned, that Bruce and Shanny have been talking about doing a move together for a while. Again, I have to firsthand knowledge of this, just what someone told me.

I think it was simply the right place and right time more than Snyder's brilliance bringing them here.
