It actually might be a blessing for us.The problem with the Cardinals is they start to believe their own hype and then someone like the Panthers comes along and punches us in the mounth. That was an impressive show you put on yesterday. My hat is off to you, you kicked our asses.

Don't worry you guys will still get to the playoffs and perhaps the Superbowl.

This is why I keep telling people to not pay so much attention to records and stats, especially early in the season. Hell, the Panthers jumped a whole bunch of spots in rushing offense in one week. That stuff means next to nothing until about week 14 or so, and even then you usually have some losing teams that start playing better football late in the season and teams that started out on fire that tail off late. It happens every single year.

Like Fox says "stats are for losers". Does anybody really believe we have the best pass D in the NFL...and the Redskins are #2?

Well to be fair, the Redskins do have a very good defense all the way around. It's their offense that sucks. A lot of this stuff depends on who you play and when you play them too though. Plus, you have a lot of hidden yardage in lopsided games, like all those passing yards Warner had in garbage time last night. They still go on the stat sheet, but those yards meant nothing as far as the outcome of the game and they came against a prevent defense.

you cant argue with the fact we have fewest passing yards allowed

True but for much of the season teams didn't need to throw it they were gashing us so bad with the run. Also other than yesterday we haven't played with a lead much where teams are forced to throw it. Combine the two and you wind up overrated. The worst thing that can happen is for our secondary to start thinking it has arrived.

I agree stats aren't "everything".....but if you are at the bottom of the stat pile all season, come week 14 you can pretty much bet you aren't making the playoffs. I know it can happen, but it's very, very highly unlikely.

Probably the best test in the NFL next week. If we can somehow possibly, maybe slow them down we have a chance. The way to do that is to keep the ball out of their hands with the running game. Our first drive against the Cards and our last drive against Tampa Bay come to mind.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
