That's fine.  But I would offer that last year's team wins 8 games if they can hit some extra points and FGs from that distance.  

This year, they add:


John Ross
Joe Mixon
Jordan Willis
Carl Lawson


A kicker that should be a significant improvement


Plus, they will have back and healthy:

WJIII
Billings
Eifert
Uzomah
Kroft
Hewitt
Gio
AJ Green
Hardison
Boling

I see all that as reason for optimism over a team that finished 6-9-1 with some serious rectal exams by the schedule makers.
