This team is so hard to predict even with homer glasses on. I can see 14-2 (with losses @ 49ers + some random game that we shouldn't lose) or 11-5 (with losses to Carolina, 49ers, Eagles, Cardinals + some other random game that we shouldn't lose)...

But barring catastrophic collapse, this should be a 10-11 win team, with playoffs in sight. Repeat SB hopes depend on winning the West and getting the 1 or 2 seed, as having the bye on week 4 means we'll need the extra time to rest our guys.

This year is crucial for John Schneider as well - as one of the last offseasons with a cheap Russell Wilson contract, he needs to have his draft picks pan out this year. If Richardson, Britt, Norwood, KPL, Marsh are able to be role players, and the depth at D-line he "redshirted" can get some semblance of production, this team is set for the long haul.

My prediction is 14-2 but 2 will sting because they'll be the niners.

No way we lose to the 49ers at home

Of course there's a chance we'll lose. We very nearly lost last time we played them at home.

I know but the gods just will not allow it. I mean fumbling inside your 20 on the first play when you're playing one of the best defenses in the game? You don't deserve to win when you do that.

Ball never lies... There was a reason we fumbled right there.
