Who else isn't worried?

Me. Not worried one bit. Lets look at the big picture shall we.

We have a imploding Seahawks team next in a 1:00 PM ET game (their 2nd consecutive coast to coast road game btw), they are imploding and lost to a 1 win Rams team, think about that for a minute, thats equal to us losing to the Bucs. I hate our losses but atleast we lost against legit contenders and not scrubs like the Rams.

Now about the Saints. The Saints have Green Bay next Sunday night in prime time. Then they play us just a few days later on Thursday night. Thursday night games are brutal on a short week as it is when you play a 1:00 PM Sunday game, imagine how much shorter that week will be for them since they play on a Sunday night before traveling to us on Thursday.

Who is up next after that? Browns, Bucs, Falcons twice, Vikes, Eagles and Saints again. The only sure loss I see is the Eagles, all the other teams are very beatable. Before you say the Browns are scary, they got stomped by the Jags today. The JAGS.

If we win next two and Saints lose next week, we can unofficially lock up the NFCs with a pretty cake schedule ahead.

That team had had recent playoff success. We haven't won a playoff game since Britney Spears was still relevant.

If you try hard enough u can find ways to counter any glimmers of hope.

I try to look at ways and examples of how we can still achieve goals, not ways to convince myself we are going to fail

So, if we get our asses handed to us by the Hawks, are we still where we need to be? lol.......... I was confident when this season started that this team would be a 10-6 or better team. right now, with the blowouts and lack of defense, 7-8-1 is wishful thinking.

Trying to gild this turd is simply embarrassing.  The piles of garbage posing as our offensive and defensive lines are not getting better like they should be.  A win for us this season would be getting through it without getting our franchise QB killed.  People on here that ranted about getting more skill position guys in here should take notice.  You lose the trenches like we have been, the only hope is to be playing in a garbage division.  This is not a performance to take heart from.  Until we can get any kind of push, we'll continue to see more of the same.

Yes. We will still be leading the NFCS no matter what even if we get beat 100-0 next Sunday

It may not be pretty, but if after halfway through the season you are leading your division you are where u need to be.

May not be where you want to be, but you are where u need to be

    • Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.
    • I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.
    • Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
