The schedule is out so are you all ready to predict how many games we will actually win?
Last year we went 12-5. This year I don't expect them to do the same. This year they will go 14-3 instead.
Alas, the software this board runs only allows 10 options. Maybe that is a good thing since Ron and Co. is no longer and we no longer need to select anything lower anyway.

I’m not old enough to be a commanders fan who experienced sustained success and I’m worried out a sophmore slump. Still, Jayden and the team have the raw talent to overcome enough adversity to still get a winning season, but in the end the bigger brother Eagles knocked us out of the playoffs for the second straight season.
13-4. Two home losses. Two road losses. 4-2 division record. We lose to at least one team that has us going "wtf" but also have at least one or two wins where everyone thinks we're gonna lose.
i went with 10-7. that would STILL be a successful season, but there would be lots of disappointment and fans doing headers off building on K-street. Transitioning to success is rarely monotonic, I expect some remaining hiccups as this franchise continues the shift out of the Snyder-sewer - that stench was on EVERYTHING. in addition, quick success breeds arrogance and imprudent rushing/corner-cutting/risk-taking.
a solid foundation and an upward trajectory (smoothed for short-term blips) is what i am looking for and happy to see.
(I wish this forum was old enough that we could re-read the wrist-slashing/burn-it-all-down posts following the November loss to the Cowboys, to cap a three-game skid. The world was OVER--- nuked straight down to ashes.)
I went with 10-7. I'm cautiously optimistic about this season, but we have some very tough games on our schedule. Of course, a lot of this depends on whether our defense improves and if our new weapons + protection on offense help to unlock it even more. Teams will now have much more tape on JD and have had time to digest it, but knowing his work ethic, I don't think it will result in a sophomore slump.
Incidentally, nfl.com analytics has us at 10.2 wins.
Yeah to be honest it wouldn't shock me if we were actually a better team but finished with a worst record. We won a ton of close games last year and one score games tend to be volatile (if you win a lot one year you tend to lose em the next year and vice versa). But if Daniels is healthy, we're basically a lock for 10+ wins. An elite QB essentially guarantees an above .500 record. The Bengals had maybe the worst D in history and still managed 9 wins.
NFL teams can have swingy records but QB play tends to be the great stabilizer/equalizer. So instead of predicting team results, just look at the QB. If the QB is good, the team will probably at least be pretty good. We went from 4-13 to 12-5 because we went from bottom 5 QB to top 5.
