Looking at our schedule here, its going to be a long, long year.
We still have to play the Seahawks, Bengals, Eagles, Giants, Cowboys, Skins, Panthers twice, Saints twice, Falcons once more, Bears, Steelers, and Browns.
The only game I can see us outright winning on paper would be the Browns game. All the rest of those I'd say we have just as good a chance at losing, as we do of winning. If anything, I'd think we are going to be the underdogs in every game, except the Browns game, for the rest of the season.
If we do have a pitiful year, winning 3 or 4 games all year...do we look at Brady Quinn, the QB out of Notre Dame, at the top of the draft? Simms is on a one year, RFA contract this year. At the end of this year, he'll be a UFA, and I have a hard time believing he'll be re-signed at the rate he's going. Do we draft a rookie QB next year, or do we go out and sign a veteran FA? I don't see Gradkowski being our long term answer, either.
This is going to be an awful year, with us winning at most, AT MOST, 5 or 6 games.
