@ Green Bay

vs SeaHawks

vs Saints (Thursday Night)

@Eagles (MNF)

vs Falcons

Green Bay, Seahawks, and Eagles could have playoff seeding implications. Obviously, in order for us to own any tiebreaker over them we will need to beat these "creme of the crop" NFC teams.

Then we have two Divisional opponents that appear to be dead in the water, but it's still early, and due to the familiarity of the clubs' systems could go either way.

It's still early in the season, but I believe the next 5 weeks are the meat and potatoes of this season prior to heading into our very much needed bye week.

We will have the Saints at home in Prime Time just 4 days after hosting the defending SB Champs. Our record in Prime Time games as we all know isn't too good. I think the familiarity with the Taints helps us as far as preparation for TNF. Also their defense is pooty this year. As a whole their Defense has only scored 13 fantasy points all season. Ouch! I'd really like to see us force the fans of that urinal smelling city break out their paper bags one more time.

After TNF we get a "mini buy" because we travel to Philly for MNF the following week which gives us 10 days off until we next play again. We will undoubtedly need the rest at this juncture after 2 games in 5 days. It should also allow our coaching staff to properly prepare for the high powered Eagles Offense, and their more impressive Defense.

I don't know what our record will be after this stretch, but if we can come out of this stretch of our season healthy and get our RBs back and into gear, theres no telling how far we may or may not go. I do know that this stretch will afford us the opportunity to put some space between our Division foes, and possibly give us some breathing room as far as Playoff seeding.

After this stretch we have the following teams coming off of our Week 12 bye:

@ Minnesota

@ Saints

vs Bucs

vs Browns

@ Falcons

We could easily run the table after our bye week. I think we all would agree that this is the weak portion of our schedule, and the fact that we have it after our Bye could be extremely helpful in building momentum going into the playoffs. This could potentially give Hardy 5 games to get back in game shape before it truly matters (speculation assuming he's back with us by then)

I guess my point in this thread, was just to raise the awareness of how crucial the next 5 weeks truly are. Obviously it's "one week at a time" mentality, but when looking at the big picture we really can lock up our Division as early as weeks 14 or 15.

Here's to hoping we can rise to the occasion in the coming weeks!

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I get the sense most folks on this forum skew a little older. We’ve all watched enough football to know the difference between a Hall of Famer and a guy who just isn’t it. If you’re still looking at what Bryce brings and convincing yourself he’s something he’s not, you’re just holding on to the wish that we didn’t screw up the #1 pick.

      I mean, but, sounds like an old wives tell.....because it's not true.  Lots of QBs have won their first Super Bowl after 5 years in.  IMO I think given the simplistic nature NFL offenses have trended.....there is less of a reason to wait around on players.   QBs make easier throws.  Athleticism matters.  You either got it or you don't.  NFL teams aren't going to build and rely on old NFL offenses because no one can step into those offenses.   So you get your answer relatively quick today given what NFL offenses have simplified to.
