We should be 4-0

Based on how Lazor's called the offense, I think it's safe to say, we win the first 2 games of the year and probably do so easily.

You might be saying, "But he was the OC for Green Bay and we lost that game." Which is true. HOwever, had we opened the season with the offense playing like it did against Cleveland and the first half of GB, I think we would have come into GB full of confidence and would have built up a bigger lead in the first half. And we would not have succumbed so badly to GB's halftime adjustments. And let's not forget GB was dealing with a lot of injuries that a more confident team would've taken greater advantage of.

Even if you disagree with me about GB, we should still be sitting at least at 3-1. I know it's unlikely and, frankly, I'd rather things happen that guarantee a new HC, but it is becoming clear to me that we could very well be a playoff team this year. Though, to be completely honest, even if we do make the playoffs, we'll be one-and-done again this year, but that'll probably be enough to get Brown to want to bring back Lewis.

With our luck, we're going to end up 2 games short of making the playoffs, but we'll have played well enough that Brown will offer Lewis a contract extension anyway which he'll accept.

Hum, well, err, you might be forgetting that Mike Brown still owns this team. He is the 10 ton lead weight that holds this team down and sinks it when it sets sail. We have one win against the worst team in the league and failed against the rest.

Now if we had our OL from 2014 then I'd probably agree with you, but we've got one of the worst OLs in the business. It's worse than last year's and Anderson just loves the Bodine and Ogbuehi for reasons which are inexplicable without using obscene language. Anderson is Mike Brown's man all the way. The team has just drafted poorly for the OL for awhile now and they were happy to see Whit and Zietler go for salary reasons.
