We'll end up 7-9 after beating a couple bottom half teams, Browns, Bears, throw in a meaningless win against Ravens to close, while losing to the 3 good team left, Steelers, Vikings, and Lions.
Mikey will call a presser where he spews out some drivel about maintaining continuity, we've done some good things, blah, blah, so Merv will be staying. PA will be back ! Oh they'll promote the water boy to OC, and fire some obscure assistant to the assistant defensive assistant. We'll lose a couple more good players. Gotta get those comp. picks that don't make the 53.
And we'll be singing:

It's definitely possible Merv gets canned. It's just one of those deals where I won't believe it til I see it...and I bring up 2010 because it's proof that "lame duck" doesn't necessarily mean anything. Mike is keeping his options open, and maybe a bad enough season gets him to make a move. But a 7-9 record (7-7 after canning Zampese) might be enough to compel Mike to give it another go.
It's not like the man has high standards.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
