I'm not Amnorix, but... IMO it's too hard to tell until you see what the defense looks like trying to run the 3-4. How will the players who are being moved adjust to it? Will Vrabel make a contribution? How fast will the rookies and FAs come along?
Looking at the schedule, it's not an easy start, either. Aside from the Oakland game in week two, the first seven weeks are killer (at the Ravens, at Philly, Giants in Arrowhead, Cowboys in Arrowhead, a bit of a breather at Washington, then San Diego comes in). That could easily be a 1-4 or 2-5 start, so... how might the team react to that? If they get down on themselves, and the fans do as well, it could snowball. The only good thing is that the Giants, Cowboys, and Chargers are all going to your place.
After the bye, I see possible wins at Jacksonville and Oakland, the Broncos once if not twice, Buffalo should be 50/50, the Browns and Bengals are always beatable... Could be a 4- or 5-win season, but could easily be an 8-win season. A lot depends on how bad the Raiders and Broncos are, and how good Matt Cassel turns out to be.
