    Make your call

    What will be our final record with seven games left. I'm making the call now 16-0. Indy is the only game that really concerns me.

    Baltimore--W
    Washington--W
    @Buffalo--W
    @Bumgals--W
    Indy--W
    @Cleveland--W

      I’m going to say 14-2... just cause I think we rest players once we have the number 1 seed locked up.

      However, my prediction before every game is always a W. Just can bring myself to predict a loss on any given week.

        14-2

        I always thought we'd split with the Rats. And I feel there's one more loss in there somewhere (Indy most likely & Stains are no gimme). But I'm seriously excited about the very real possibility of 16-0!!!!

            We can win every game on that list. Of course, that's a hard feat to accomplish, but this team has a legitimate shot at it. Barring major injuries or Covid outbreaks, I would favor us to take each of those matchups. Let's DO it ... 19-0!

              If we went 16-0, is the
              added pressure of an undefeated team a concern to you going forward?

                It wouldn't concern me. You just keep doing what we've been doing, preparing and playing them one game at a time.

                I'd be more concerned about looking past a weaker opponent because of an upcoming game with a stronger one, but that's not something unique to the undefeated run, it's something we have to contend with almost every year.

                  my fear is not resting starters and risking injury in a quest for an undefeated season.

                  I would hate to see Claypool, Fitz or Ben go down in a meaningless game vs Cleveland.

                    Not really. The one-and-done playoffs are high-pressure regardless. If they enter the playoffs 14-2, 15-1 or 16-0, I think the pressure to avoid losing is much the same. They're not worried at all about protecting a win streak. They're worried about getting a ring.

                      Fair enough.

                        So would your signature then have an additional line condemning Tomlin for the team not going 19-0

                          The only way we go 16-0 is if we need to win the last game to keep the#1 seed.

                            I'm sure any loss will be Tomlin's fault.

                              No Oviedo. I would really like to have dialog with you about my sig. I’m not being sarcastic either; I’m being sincere.
