10-12 wins feels like the sweet spot for me. 12-5 would be my official guess, because why live life pessimistically.

12-5
Last 2 games vs, GB week 17 and vs Det Week 18 will decide the division.
Allen, Hargrave, Fries, Jackson, Kelley and Mason will all prove to be upgrades.

Looking at what KOC has coaxed out of his roster two out of the last three years, it makes one wonder what he is capable of with a solid roster of both OL and DL.
Does JJM have a higher ceiling that Darnold? I believe so. I think we saw sudden Sam hit his ceiling the last few games of the season (definitely the last two...losses...but he was off for games 15 & 16 (less than 250 yards), in addition to that stinker against the Lions in week 18 where he had 166 yards).
I'll go with 12-5 and believe they could exceed that. However, if JJM lays an egg, all bets are off.

I'm thinking 10-7. Tougher schedule, lots of new players, how long till they mesh, lots players returning from injuries, how long till the recovering players are a full strength, redshirt QB, lots of positives here, but game gets real now.

This is pretty much where I’m at, unless JJM fulfills all prophesies, if so it’s another 14 win year.

I would love to see them replicate the year they had last year and finish stronger in the playoffs. That to me would be the best-case scenario. Worst case would include injuries to key players or JJM not being who I hope he is resulting in a losing record and I don't want to even consider that.
Ultimately it boils down to Jonathan Greenards message for the entire team for this season... "More is required"
