having a losing football team sucks but i'll remember 41-10 games all year and still smile. tob's job is obviously dependent on the former but, for me, a big carolina beat down is a panacea.
I was content with just beating Carolina the first couple seasons we sucked after the Rivers era. Now I expect more. I know plenty of folks would be okay with us going 1-whatever as long as that one win was against the Tarholes, but personally, I'd rather see us make it to a decent bowl game (no the papajohns.com Bowl doesn't count).
6-7 wins. Offense should be good. RW is great, the WRs will be solid, OL will be improved, and RBs will take a hit but there is talent there. DLine and secondary question marks. LBs should be improved. And the secondary can't get much worse than it was last year.
