Most critical 4 game stretch ever?!?!?

So, do you all think our next four games are the most critical series we have ever had, not including end-of-season or post-season?

If we can come out of this with at least two wins, I think we are still in very good shape in the NFC.

Ideally, we'll come out at 4-0, but GB, SEA, NO, and PHI could ultimately shape the tone of the rest of the season for us.

Beat GB, SEA, and PHI, and it is ultimately another L against each of them once the end of the season positioning race begins.

GB has looked average at times, and has trouble with teams built like ours.

SEA has looked very bipolar this year. I don't think Dallas is as good as they are playing, and I never thought they would beat Seattle at Seattle.

 

PHI is playing rather well for their talent level, and honestly worries me the most.

 

NO is our only real competition for the NFCS... Even that might be giving them too much credit, though... but a W is a W when it comes to your division...

 

Cleveland could be a trap game... Minnesota doesn't scare me... Not scared at all of the Bucs or the Falcons...

Damn some of y'all can't read for poo.

 

On the Cleveland "trap" game... I figured we have a good shot at putting together a good little win streak going into that one, and thought we might overlook them based on their not-so-recent history...

That said, I'm still not that afraid of Brian Hoyer. The guy is having a great year so far, don't get me wrong, but he has good talent around him and hasn't really had THAT tough of a schedule tbqh. I think the Browns in general are riding a little high right now than they are in reality.

as bipolar as the NFL has been this season, no game is a given. Panthers will have to fight for 60 full minutes of every game they play. the upside to that is that if the Panthers do win the division/make the playoffs/have back-to-back winning records, it will be so much more sweet to enjoy. all that being said, we need to go 2-2 in the next four games, preferably winning the games against Green Bay and New Orleans. losing to Seattle and Philly wouldnt hurt us as much as losing a common game (GB) or a division game (NO). i think if we play to our talent level and get alittle luck, we can win all four games. i do believe these next four will define the rest of our season. 0-4 will be nearly impossible to rebound from. 1-3 is one of the more likely outcomes but wont be a total disaster. 2-2 is another likely outcome and would set us up nicely (especially with a division win against the saints), anything above 2-2 would be absolutely outstanding for our season.

      Yep, like I said, I don't mind guaranteeing them money, but make the contracts smaller amounts in order to minimize cap implications. I don't know about "half," the actual amounts, whether more or less than half, would have to be determined by the NFL and NFLPA (which will probably be highly contentious, if not "impossible").  I'm just for whatever leads to the best product on the field while also unaffecting my wallet. As an aside, the NFL owners are greedy bastards in my estimation. They're trying to keep a larger portion of the pie, but players' agents are greedy as well, and they've sewn seeds of greed among the players. It's not all their fault; we all know what our society has evolved into, but the NFL wants a bigger piece of our smaller pocketbooks and refuses to "negotiate" with us (that's why we don't have cheaper and more reasonable à la carte options to view games that they're gradually trying to migrate to paid TV), so fu<k 'em. And then on top of that we have guys trying to water down the product even more by feeding greed. Change the way things are done so that we can at least see players prove themselves on the field without throwing wrenches into the engine that pays guys that have proven they can play on a pro level.

      OK, I didn't realize this was about high school, but...if I'm spending my personal money trying to help some kids out, then no one is going to tell me how to spend my money. I get enough of the government spending my money--allocating my tax dollars--to children who don't really need anything, and now they're trying to tell me how to spend my personal money? Sure, there are many other issues to consider and rabbit holes that we could go down due to ethical concerns because it concerns kids, and the need for transparency is extremely important, but maybe as opposed to trying to stop kids from benefitting in darkness, we need to open up the blinds (and blinders) a little bit so that they can benefit in the light. I get where you're coming from, but this is a loaded and layered issue, and I'm just trying to give you some food for thought.
