In short - If we have a quarterback that is half decent this can definitely be a playoff team. There's high end potential where I could see this team going fairly deep in the playoff if everything goes right*. Its probably most likely that we fall just short again with so many new players and a pretty tough schedule, but we'll see.
Everything* (Eppy looks like his brother, good DL with depth, LB has Buffington, Reis, and Weisskopf all starting and kicking butt, Lutmer's not having to play corner cause we've got great corners, and WR lives up to the billing with Diaz becoming a better version of ISM, OL plays just like last year, RB stays healthy and gets better, special teams stays good. A lot of which is pretty likely to happen, some of which is probably asking too much to have all of it hit at once - but that's why we play the games)
Its very interesting to me to see what Lester has cooked up for us given some of the hype around the skill positions, OL, and a seeming confidence that the QB situation finally organically is working out with a couple of emerging developmental guys. I don't know if I could handle a fully functional offense that scores a lot and puts pressure on the better teams in the sport to keep up.
