Realistic expectations for next year?

Was just looking at the schedule and its brutal. Still have several holes that need to be filled. The draft will hopefully help but we will still have glaring needs. I'm sure they will bring in some cheap veterans as we get closer to the draft. I'm thinking a 7-9 record will be acceptable as long as this years draft is a success. I believe we are two yrs away from being able to compete for a playoff spot. As long as these past two draft classes pan out. I just hope Drews play doesn't nosedive in the meantime

Who am I scared of on that list?
Also as seen a million times over you can't use last year's strength of schedule to determine this year's strength of schedule. It's almost as stupid as preseason power rankings.

i mean if we have trouble with injuries on the defense again I think a another 7-9 finish is very much in reach.
i don't give a shite who we play.

Let's wait until after free agency and the draft before this.
Probably similar season to last year, though.

2016 will be good, 2017 will be special.

Carolina finished 15- 1 with the toughest division schedule preseason.
Nobody thought Washington would be a playoff team.
Every year unexpected happens. Schedule means nothing. During Sean's tenure we have streaked on a lot of good teams and dropped to some bums.
Quit looking at paper to predict a team. 2009 and 2011 sort of just happened without magical offseasons fresh off disappointing seasons.

I thought the schedule didnt look bad myself, especially the road games.
Road outside the division-
Chargers 4-12
49ers 5-11
Giants 6-10
Chiefs 11-5
Cardinals 13-3
and the NFL is becoming more volatile each year as to who is strong or weak. Strength of schedule is one of the most meaningless stats cuz of this IMO. Examples last year...
Jets 4-12 to 10-6
Ravens 10-6 to 5-11
Chargers 9-7 to 4-12
Cowboys 12-4 to 4-12
Redskins 4-12 to 9-7
Panthers 7-8-1 to 15-1

7-9 to 9-7
Posted on 3/17/16 at 8:49 am to CapperVin
8-8
Posted on 3/17/16 at 8:59 am to CapperVin
like 8-8, maybe 9-7 if we hit on a bunch of draft picks who can give some contributions early

El Campo's schedule isn't real. Just a heads up.

At this point I'll just be happy with the playoffs.
We had a good run.

We don't know how to draft so I would say the same as this year

So what youre saying is we should obviously pick treadwell at #12 right?
