Best case -worst case scenarios for each team

[RobToxin]

Texans best case scenario: relocated to Albuquerque

Worst case scenario: Bill O'Brien gets another extension.

What am I missing here ? These are just every teams record for last year and their best case /worst case for last year based on record in close games.

Walter blows

I kind of think using close games as a barometer is a little bit lazy and short sighted but whatever. I guess it's really just for shits and giggles anyway. I kind of had a chuckle at the Vikings with Cousins though. Right down the middle +/- 1. Kirk Cousins career in a nutshell.

I like using 'close games' to judge balanced teams. Chargers pretty much every year.

If your QB, defense, special teams or coaching are garbage then I need to see some real roster changes. Chiefs last year fit the same profile as the recent Falcons team that lost in the Super Bowl (imo) and that Falcons team didn't go 15-1 the next season so....yeah.

Patriots best case 13-3
worst case 11-5

KC best case wildcard
worst case 9-7

Lot of shit-talking on the Chiefs for a team that is gonna have Hill and probably another CB in the games that matter.

U hope. U let ur best cb walk. And yes the metrics hacked that up, and yes he improved each year in the league. And ur d sucked

Close games is a good measure to use to gauge potential progression or regression but it can't be your only measure .

You need to account for additions and attrition . You need to look at how injured a team was last year or ( if they stayed healthy ) how likely it is they maintain that degree of health this year . Coaching changes can also be a huge difference maker

Kendall Fuller died?

I am not even sure there's a legit difference between Charvarius Ward and Nelson...

Very rarely does a non-QB/coach make the roster that much better or worse.

True but losing 3,4,5 guys for extended time certainly can

Not if they are RB's, mediocre TE's, and guards :P

 

[Clayton]

Chiefs might have like 6 new starters on defense next year with a new DC. I think its fair to say that their upside is really high and their downside is really low.

No just numbers that back it up.

PFF grades for DB’s are fickle boss. I think you put more stock into them than I do.

I think u make some
Things up occasionally to fit your needs. But actually I stand corrected fuller was 3 spots ahead of Nelson.

How did ur d suck that and with two high ranked cbs

The LB's and safeties blow massive chunks, boss. Look up how they did against RB's and TE's and compare it to the WR's and you'll have your answer; though the Chiefs wiping WR's relatively is likely a passrush thing, so IDK.

It's why getting Mathieu and Thornhill are huge deals.

Do they need another CB? Yeah, but they're not far behind, if at all; if anything I'd wager they're actually ahead of last year's CB group. Grab a Waynes or Rhodes and there's good potential; Peterson at the deadline? Chiefs have options.

the Bears worst case is 11-5

This one is extra derpy with a side of derp.



Walter thinks the Bears are better than the Patriots despite the Bears having tougher divisional foes [by his own estimation].

Bears should have the most extreme range of outcomes in the league. Anything from 6-14 wins is possible.

I'd actually put the Packers as more extreme range than the Bears, but Bears are certainly right there. If Rodgers and LaFleur find the magic that flamed out with McCarthy, they could have an offense resembling the Atlanta Falcons' recent Superbowl run. If Aaron Rodgers gets hurt in the preseason and the team has to rely on Kizer to move the ball all year the Packers might win 1 or 2 games.
