It should have beaten the Chiefs but for a BS call; it took the Ravens to OT and should have won in OT and then was a missed 2point conversion from beating them in the other game.
It’s possible that the O actually gets better (better G play, Chase Brown as starter for whole season).
The D-line should be much improved by not having Lawrence Guy or Zach Carter in there. They should add at least four DL through FA/draft. Let’s say two or them hit in a big way (last time they signed an Edge in FA they signed Hendrickson, they got Hubbard in the 3rd round; Carlos Dunlap and Geno Atkins were in the same draft class so they do know what they are doing at DL from time to time). They then need two of Murphy, Ossai (if he re-signs), McKinnley Jackson and Kris Jenkins to take that next step. Murphy had above average win rates, he needs to convert those to sacks; the two 2nd year DTs are primed to breakout now they have a year in the NFL and the game has slowed down for them).
The secondary has flashed and has shown signs of getting it more together down the stretch. The upside of CTB is pro bowler. Dax Hill showed real promise, DJ Turner has flashed too. They need consistency.
It may not happen but there’s definitely a path and it’s not a path that requires every signing to be a hit but they will need some hits.
That is a TON of hits. Every team has an nfl draft. We have to get exponentially better than the next team. What makes you think CTB is a pro bowler or will even improve? Same for Murphy? Jenkins I could see. But there’s also a chance these players regress in a new scheme.
One score games don’t mean much. Most nfl games are one score when you factor in prevent D and garbage time scores.
We have more holes than last year and last years team wasn’t very good.
