Is the season salvagable?

I don't see us getting a wild card, I can't see us with any more than 9 wins and the way NO is playing I doubt they lose more than 5 games..

I think we could get to 3-3 with the schedule we have coming up, but 2-4 is more likely. The problem is that after that, we have a 10 game stretch in which we'll be the decided underdog in 8. We'll lose 6 or 7 of those 10. Somewhere between 5-11 and 7-9 is about the most we can hope for.

You really have to change what salvagable means to us as fans right now. Before the season started I would have said absolutely not (because I wanted a winning season and a playoff berth) but now after watching this team for the past three weeks and preseason I guess we should change our expectations. Now the season could be "salvaged" if we start Matt Moore after the bye against a weak Redskins team (confidence booster) and give him the reigns. If Matt plays well and we finish with about 6-7 wins then we salvaged the season because at least we know what Matt can and can't do once and for all. Other than that no, 7 wins with Jake at QB gives us nothing.

Nah it is pretty much over. If you somehow win 3 in a row and fight back to .500 you are pretty much spent and are well at .500 with 10 games to go. Win a few lose a few and you are still a .500 team. That is why only 5 or so teams in NFL history have climbed out of a hole like this.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Was just reading the Ask the Old Guy story on the team's website and was shocked to see that only two 2nd Rounders have signed so far, 30 of them haven't. That isn't normal, the Texans really screwed things up for the rest of the league, no other explanation that I can think of for 30 of the 32 picks to still be unsigned at this point.

      Canales Addresses CB position

      They need to address CB before season starts. This is not going to cut it.

      Rodgers to Pittsburgh confirmed

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it wouldn't be Rodgers leading them on a postseason run, it would be the defense and he's there to not screw up their great games. Which is why..... This times a million. I didn't watch a ton of the Jets last year, but from what I did see, Rodgers himself didn't look like a bum, the team just struggled and was more than likely due to poor coaching on the whole.  The Steelers don't need MVP level Rodgers to win games, they just need him to be good enough to make some plays when it matters because the defense is keeping them in games every week regardless. In their 7 losses last season, the Steelers scored 10, 13, 17, 17, 17, 19, and 24... while giving up 19, 20, 24, 27, 27, 29, and 34 in those games.  With only marginally better offense last year, they probably end up winning a few more games too. They only scored over 27 points in 3 games last season. I think this is a great move by the Steelers and if Rodgers can stay healthy all year, will get them back into the playoffs and could make some noise if their defense is up to the normal level of a Steelers defense.
