I think 50 wins is realistic, considering we have a pretty nice lineup. There are a few seasoned deep teams that will beat us straight up, and I'm sure we'll lose a handful of games to Western teams that gameplan for our strengths and can drop buckets on us. Defense will be the difference between 44 wins and 57, and I pray to Chick that Vogel and the staff make top-notch defense a calling-card straight out of the gate. If the health gods smile on us and the squad really WANTS to become a top-10 defense, we can put winning streaks together and easily win 50+. As we all should know, it's not necessarily going to be as important how many wins we get as it is making it to the playoffs healthy and on a roll.
