Let's talk about a healthy 2015 season..

[Robocop]

ok let's say Bradford stays healthy for the entire season (honestly how much bad luck can the guy have left) and we reinforce 2 or 3 on the offensive line plus resigning our top needs. With a healthy Sam and hopefully a top 10-15 Oline ranking how do you all see the 2015 season ending up especially with the defense playing at a top 5-10 level that we know is possible. If Bradford stays upright at least 12-16 games I would be inclined to say a playoff birth. and with another year under Williams and all the young players having a year under their belts, how far do you think this team could go?

be realistic, as if you had $100 riding on it. I'm curious here. And in my opinion I'll be optimistic and say Cignetti could do better than Schotty (the bar is set low anyways).

If the entire team stayed healthy? I think they could contend for a title - and I honestly mean that.

If I was betting 100$ and I knew Bradford would stay healthy? I would comfortably bet a playoff berth. Our defense is too good, and our offense gave away plenty of games last year that Bradford simply would not.

10 win season. Health is always a major factor for every team. I remember a Colts team post Manning and pre Luck that sucked pretty badly.

BTW, turnovers are the second biggest factor and one Sam manages well.

Hopefully 1st or 2nd seed

 

[RamsJunkie]

13-3 and superbowl bound I sh!t you not

 

[bwdenverram]

I look at it this way. We finished 6-10 but we all know we left 3-4 wins easily on the table.. Bad QB play, officiating, you name it.
Maybe it's a big "IF" but only a few things have to go right from us having a 10 win season with mediocre QB play.

Now, if Sam comes back, stays healthy and we shore up the OL. No reason we can't win 10-12 games next year.

And yes, I believe that.

Due to constantly being let down with my pre-season projections, I'm slowly becoming this guy.

Which is good; because then if they surprise me and surpass my expectations, I can become this guy:

That he does.
A little too well at times.
Sometimes I wish he would take more chances. He has a great arm.
I saw him doing it in preseason. There was an upswing in his confidence with his receivers.

Isn't this guy hiding out in CGI's neighborhood?

I believe we have 3 more wins if our defense starts fast last season.
Same qb and oline play.

I know the topic is IF we stay healthy... but we all know that ain't happening.

So, my first thought is... as I look at the offensive side of the ball, we have very little depth... I am concerned.

Other random thoughts:
* On defense, we have depth in most positions, but I worry about coming out of the gates slowly again. I don't think we will... but it has me a tad concerned based on history.
* New OC and QB coach. Not saying they won't/can't kick it up a notch from Schottenheimer, but the unknown of it worries me some.

To sum it up....
* IF we stay healthy (especially on offense)
* IF we get off to a strong start on defense
* IF Cignetti and Weinke prove themselves capable of elevating the offense to - say 21 PPG.

THEN, the sky's the limit.

Lots to happen yet... free agency... draft.. maybe a trade or two... who knows?

Under this scenario, I completely agree!!

Due to constantly being let down with my pre-season projections, I'm slowly becoming this guy.

I'm not in your position yet, But I don't think I'm far behind!

Good point. No sacks in 5 games still is hard to believe happened.

I believe you. But no team EVER stays completely healthy all season. I just hope we avoid serious injuries at positions we lack depth.

I am expecting 12-4 in 2015
