there still isnt a lot of depth, so any key injuries lower the range to 6-8 wins.

this team reminds me of the colts before and after peyton left. before mannings injury they were 10-6 and first in the division. they won 2 games the next year when curtis painter or some other donk was the qb. the following year, luck "carried" them to a 11-5 record - on the strength the same 10-6 team that peyton lead previously.

likewise, this is a better version of the skins team that made the playoffs two years ago. there was a down year due to the cap hit/lack of depth, terrible special teams, and horrible defense, but this same team is primed to be decent again. Bob doesnt have to be great for the team to win 9 games, the team as a whole just needs to improve over two years ago and its clear that the pass rush, special teams and WR corp are ready to elevate their play with an already great running game in place.

(Not so) Quietly, London Fletcher was terrible in pass coverage towards the end and Robinson could really be a key upgrade if he is ready this year.
