Right now I just want a dismantling of the Eagles next week in front of the nation for the 9 sacks of Cam and the whipping they put on us last year in Philly. A shutout would suffice.

After today I have supreme confidence in this team, but we don't need to be looking at numbers like this right now.  Remember last year when we were 3-8-1 we had like a 5% chance of making it.... look what happened.  The NFL is a weird game.  Our only focus right now should be beating the Eagles.  These numbers are awesome but let's not get caught up in them.

I like those odds, don't understand how Seattle and Pittsburgh are ranked ahead of us on their ratings even after they've taken today into account.

[SamMills4Life]

That has us as the favorite every single week except for the Green Bay game where we are 51% to 48% underdogs.

If their predictions based on their odds for each game are all correct we'd go 15-1 with the only loss being to GB.

The only "bad" game left is against GB IMO and the numbers show that.  Rodgers is Rodgers...but they haven't exactly been world beaters lately.  An average Chargers team, a good Rams defense, and the 49ers gave them decent games.  And they'll be coming off a game against Denver's defense when we get them?  

 

Keep winning, get healthier, and who knows?

Division games are Division games.  I don't know why anyone would overlook them. 

I am worried about Tampa and New Orleans and Green Bay.. and the Colts..and everygame...

Panthers have no receivers... but have a bad ass offensive line ... man that game was sick.

ELO is the chess rating system and I'm not too sure either given how the rating system works. Everyone starts at 1500 and you go up or down with wins and losses and the amount you move is based on the rating of your opponent. Given that Seattle has only beaten two bad teams that were winless at the time there is no way they should even be above 1500, much less 1600.

so u r saying we have a chance!!??

One game at a time, every team is beatable.
