I’m hoping that trend continues, because I definitely don’t see them matching last year’s record. And, for the record, I think Brad is right that a lot of it hinges on Ben. But, let’s not forget that they recently played almost an entire season without him and went … 8-8.
They have no prayer of finishing near 8-8 (I know there's 17 games now, but I said "near").
They have a new weapon in Harris and still have a few decent players, but I think that everything falls apart if Ben's not at the top of his game, which he's obviously not.
You also forget that the defense played out of their minds in 2019 and had one of the better turnover ratios in the NFL at +8 or something.
Ben's falling apart and I think the rest of the team goes with him. The way last year ended is an indication of things to come.
