Are your hopes higher this year?

Positives for the season, some of the recent draft picks are starting to be contributors, This past draft looks like it will have added some good players to the team in positions of need. In many ways this past draft looks like one of the better ones in a while.

Even with all the positives it may take those picks an entire year to be contributors to the team as many are very raw and or projects. We have already had the injury bug hit a lot of players and we have yet to know how long that it is likely for them to be out. Some players that were developing from last year have been injured. The teams we play this year were division winners last year. We have a great many question marks this year as well as being with out one of our star players for two games due to suspension. It looks like Brady will be out and his replacement grabapole is new to the position but might be the next starter for the cheatriots as he sounds like he was a good player in college. We don't have lots of film on him so it would be handy to have someone watching practice so they could see what he looks like. Our back up qb is hurt. Our 3rd qbs look like they could have a tough time making the team let alone a difference. They are so bad a chant for bring back Kordel might be heard.

This has the possibility of being a very disappointing season for what might become a very good team next year or the year after if a couple more good drafts happen and some of the new guys catch on and stay healthy.
 
11-5, give or take 3 games based on if and who steps up their game on defense, and injuries.
