5-0 to start the season, realistic or not?

@Tampa

an away game against a division rival isn't exactly a gimme. especially since they have a brand new offense where it seems like they are trying to emulate chicago from last season to help out josh mccown. lavonte david in the tampa 2 will be deadly as well.

 

Detroit Home

this team is basically built to beat us. have a top 5 OL and an incredibly fast offense to combat our slow defense (remember the philly game in the preaseason last year? and mike wallace constantly burning us?). their defense blows chunks though so there's that in our favor.

 

Pittsburgh Home

depends on whether or not their OL can stay healthy and gels. their defense i'm not too sold on as their older players (kiesel, hampton, harrison, woodley) are all gone now or not that great in the first place (timmons, taylor). have a lot of questions marks at WR as well outside of brown.

 

@Baltimore

depends on how the offense responds to kubiak's ZBS. if the OL isn't up to snuff this should be a win because joe flacco sure ain't gonna beat us with his arm.

 

Chicago Home

probably have the best offensive playcaller in the league. marshall and jeffery would probably abuse our corners. but their defense was historically bad last year. houston and fuller, along with a healthy briggs and tillman can turn that around though.

 

 

what i'm saying is that it's possible. but it's also possible we lose all of them. this is a HARD schedule. not just these five weeks, but the entire season. people thinking we're gonna get double digit wins with ease need to take off the homer shades.

What you think? I think we can do it. None of those 5 teams made the playoffs last year

Man don't you know you can't utter such heresies on the huddle? Haven't you heard that our O-line, wide recievers, secondary, cheerleaders, Sir Purr, David Gettlemen all suck?

This is rebuilding year we will be lucky to finish 2-14.

I actually think 5-0 is very doable.

    • Technically speaking, Fields has been a better QB than Bryce Young in the NFL.  I mean it’s bottom rung comparing by BY isn’t better.  Thats what I don’t get about the talk this week.  We don’t have a QB edge 
    • Might be different against a team with no legitimate pass catching options outside of their rookie TE though.  Their #1 WR tomorrow has 8 catches this season, next best WR receptions number this year is 4. If we can't defend that while Horn travels with their TE, then we have some serious problems.   Maybe we don't end up doing that in the end, but it's probably how I'd be scheming up the defense tomorrow when they have only 1 non RB pass catching option.
    • I fought sleep to stay awake just to watch that fumble on the goal line as we were going in for the go ahead score and said fug it, I'm going to bed. I've seen this movie before. I know how this ends. This bullshit of having California teams in conference with east coast teams is trash. That game probably didn't end until 2:30AM. Hell, it was 2AM at the time of the fumble and there was still 3+ minutes to play. In conference games being played into the 2AM hour for local audiences is terrible for the game. And the worst rule in football really does need fixed. Fumbling through the endzone or a fumble recovers by the D in the end zone should not result in a touch back and the ball on the 20. Fumbling through the endzone should not be a turnover. Fumbling out of bounds isn't a turnover anywhere else on the field. That should be the offense's ball on the one yard line. If the D recovers it in the endzone it should be the D's ball on the one yard line. Everyone knows this and everyone talks about it so just fix it already. If Cal was getting the ball at the goal line instead of out to the 20 I would've kept watching. That's a completely different scenario than the ball at the 20.
