And if they don't try to predict how the season will go, many of these people would have nothing to write about!

Bucs fan with the same feel. If we're able to keep out 5 dubs, I'd be alright with that

If Jimmy G goes down early in the season, I could see it. Also it's the Raiders, they're almost always worse than the sum of their parts.

-A Raiders Fan

Since '02 we've had two sub-4-win seasons. And eight seasons of 4 or fewer wins, including the year after we went to the Super Bowl.

We've been on the cusp of 3-wins for a third of our seasons over the last 2 decades. Last year we had 6 wins with a playoff team before downgrading.

Maybe 3-wins is a bit of a stretch for expectations. But it would not be at all surprising.

Hard agree. The AFC West is so hard to make look like a race. The only way to try to stir up interest is to talk about the Chiefs losing ground.

Never do myself :) As a ‘Dotte native have heard it for a almost 5 decades :)
