Welp, so much for that underdog role we love..

It was fun being underdogs in 2013 against good teams like Patriots, 49ers, and Saints. Everyone recognized us as "good" but never enouenenough to respect us vs. those top teams. Of course the "underdog" role got old last season when we couldn't win a game for half the season.

Whatever, I hope we're favorites from here on out.

I never get why people want the underdog role or "flying under the radar". We as a fan base needs to up our standards. I want my team to be favored every week. That means we are handling our business. I'm sure players want recognition and would be insulted as being the underdog

Hate the underdog role.  want that taken names and kicking ass role.  Rather be expected to win every week.  

couldn't be spoken any more true. If we can keep this core of players and keep drafting like we do...by "core," I'm including Luke, Cam, Kk, Norman, Olsen, TD, Shaq, Turner, Kalil, Norwell, KB and Bene', we will always be in the hunt and hard to pick against. 

TD will retire soon but I believe Shaq will be a seamless replacement when that day comes. So we should be looking for another OLB (whether it be in FA or in the draft,) and I'm sure we'll continue to build through the draft. 

We're so fortunate to have a GM like Gettleman and a team that understand defense wins championships but still be able to keep the chains moving on offense with a #keep_pounding motto. 

The future is certainly bright.
