Didn't go through this thread but I'd like to know which of these games are Wins and which ones are Losses this upcoming season :
EDIT : Wow.  No one want to take a stab at this?
I'll give it a shot.
1. @ Giants. W.
2. 9ers. L.
3. Texans. L.
4. @ Packers. L.
5. Jets. L.
6. Lions. L.
7. @ Rams. L.
8. Colts. W.
9. @ Jags. L.
10. @ Titans. W.
11. @ Bears. L.
12. Cardinals. W.
13. Falcons. W.
14. Bears. W.
15. @ Seahawks. L.
16. Packers. W.
17. @ Lions. L.
My inflection points are the Texans and Jets games. If the Offense comes up to speed faster than I think those are winnable games. Same for at the Jags.
The key is Bradbury. Phillips mentioned stealing some ideas from other Offenses recently. Well, I think that's a direct reference to McVay going All In on running Gap Schemes instead of Zone Runs. Underdog Fantasy cited Ty Chandler as primarily running in Gap looks last year.
IF Bradbury can execute Gap blocks better than he did Inside Zone blocks AND Aaron Jones can adapt to it then I think the Offense is more dangerous faster, even with Darnold throwing picks.
On the flip side, I can see the run game continuing to suck, forcing Darnold to throw too much and the Offense failing to score enough points that even a Top 10 Defense can't bail them out. Which would potentially result in more road losses like at the Titans. We shall see.
