This is a year unlike any we will see in 16+ years. With the schedule being released today, what are some of y'alls expectations going into the new season?

I think if all the work Jameis is putting in is legitimate and not just for show, I think we can over in the 11-6 range. However, this is also a year where we can go back into the 7-10 range (with the new schedule format). I still like our roster as a whole, and if our QB play can be at least half of what it looks like under Drew, there is no reason we will not be in contention come January. The glaring issue is the depth of defense, especially at cornerback. I think our front 7 will remain somewhat solid, but we will need more help over the top if we do not want to revert back to the 7-9 days.

Without further adieu:

I expect the same. Anything above 9-8 I will be happy. Anything under 7-10 I will melt.

I think anywhere from 12-5 to 9-8 is possible. We are too good to have a losing record even without Drew but we won’t set the world on fire and go 15-2 either. It all depends on how far whoever is taking the snaps will take us.

10-7, + or - 1.

staying healthy will be key.

if csp can get the most out of winston's potential we could win the super bowl, but we can still win 10 or so games if winston doesn't pan out and hill is the qb.

We aren't losing to NE with Cam or Mac Jones at the helm.

I literaly have no idea. If Winston is the same guy he was in Tampa, then we won't do well... if he's a new man then the sky's the limit

I'll go 10-7.

We're going to be in shootouts.

I think the offense will actually be better minus Brees. The D might suck hard though.
