Looking Ahead NE, Detroit and Philly

[DaveThePanther2008]

Our team uses the next game is the most important game attitude but since I was able to see a couple of our opponents yesterday I thought I would drop my two cents worth.   I know it was the first game for all teams and as the weeks go on more game film will be available.  

Last night, thanks to AFN, I was able to see the Lions and Philly and Friday, I was able to watch the replay of the New England game. Also watched the Oak/Tenn game. 

We could be 3-0 going into the New England game providing a meltdown against New Orleans.  

The injuries to New England's defense, if they are sustained injuries, will be a concern for them and we have the talent to beat them.   Fortunately for us they play Houston at home before they play us.  So back to back loses in Foxboro isn't very likely.  We could hand them their second loss at home.   I think we have the defense to beat them.  Cam should be rust free by then. 

Game 5 against Detroit in Detroit is going to be rough.  They have some good running backs and Stafford, given time, can really hurt us.  Watching him tear up Arizona impressed me and this could easily be a loss for us.   Hopefully, by game 5 we will be in mid-season form defensively.  If we play like we did today, especially in the 1st quarter Detroit is going get out early on us and it could be game over.

Game 6 against Philly will be at home so we have some advantage at home but Wentz looked pretty good they have some decent weapons too.  Washington isn't t as good as they were last year and Philly is much improved.  

I would love to see us go through this stretch with all W but if we can make it to Chicago 5-1 or 4-2 I would be happy about this stretch.

A 4-2 start would be huge for us.

We have a great chance to build some momentum in the first month or so, hope we take advantage of it.

Agreed!!

I would not be surprised w/ 4-0 then a letdown game in Detroit after a highly intense New England game.

id be very happy with 4-2

Right now, Philly is the scariest team on the schedule. Wentz looked really good yesterday.

His mobility makes him very dangerous and guys like him that can extend a play make things difficult to defend.  We will have to make sure we keep him in the pocket or we are in for a long day.

Philly worries me. Watch how they relentlessly and quickly might I add, blitzed Kirk cousins. Can cam make those super quick decisions? Right now not sure. Let's hope he can by then. 

[juliosantos]

lets relax and focus on the bills if we beat them its 2 and 0 and as the season goes on the rust comes off and we have a chance to beat anyone

[Cat]

I think we are going to have our hands full with the Bills. I'm hoping for 2-0.

Cam has never made quick decisions under pressure. Don't think he will all of a sudden start to.

Not to sound cliche but this next game is quite interesting going against our long time DC.

Does life suck being miserable all the time? Or would you consider yourself a happy person? I'm genuinely interested.

Not at all miserable, I just see reality where some feel the need to look through rose colored glasses. Anyone that pays attention has watched Cam hold the ball far too long for 6 seasons, not to mention his terrible mechanics.
