Deciding to start Holcome was the right move IMO. He can air it out and he has three solid receivers. Plus he is more mobile than Couch which will come in handy with the O-Line struggles. W. Green was coming on toward the end of last year, but again his production will be affected by the O-Line.
They really should have beat Pittsburg last year in the playoffs. If Northcutt would have caught that pass it could have been.
I would agree that 8-8 is pretty realistic depending on how some of the intangibles go. They can't afford to have another game like the one against KC on opening day last year. Talk about bad luck.
