This is a 10-6 team.

pump the brakes

Before this week, 6-10 was my optimism.

Let's say we get lucky and split the Saints.

Let's say Atlanta is as bad as advertised, but we still drop a dud in one of those.

Let's say Chicago can't get their QB situation figured out.

We ain't beating Green Bay or KC as we stand right now.

We might be able to beat Ron later on in the year.

Maybe we can beat TB in Charlotte.

We should beat the Broncos, but you never know.

Toss up one W between Minnesota and Detroit.

 

Max optimism, 9-7.

Anything better is cool.

Anything worse is expected.

Looking at our remaining schedule, I only see 4 more losses against the Saints (split), Bears, Chiefs and Packers. The rest of the schedule is cake. No reason at all why we shouldn’t finish 10-6 and easily make the playoffs this year. 

Bears are not looking so hot anymore either.  They only put up 11 points yesterday.  I think that is a very winnable game.

we've beaten two not so great teams and gotten beat by two not so great teams, so this feels a little premature 

I agree it's premature, but I think the Cardinals are a pretty solid playoff contending team. That was a big win.

I definitely wrote the Cardinals off as a loss.

I think they were outcoached, which is promising imho. That's why I am somewhat more optimistic.

Let's see what Atlanta does tonight and when we go down to ATL before we get too eager to get our hopes up.

Pump the brakes, you’re embarrassing yourself. I see between 6 to 8 wins this year which is really good considering we’re rebuilding.

    • MORGAN ON PLAY CALLER FOR CANALES   "I think that's really his [Canales'] call," he stated. "I think if he wants to promote somebody into being the play-caller or bring somebody from the outside. We haven't really talked about that. But that is something that I'm sure we'll talk about. We talk about every decision together. If he feels like he needs to add somebody or promote somebody into being the play-caller, then I trust him."  
    • Dude, he cannot see the field, when his feet are not set he throws ducks.   What the fug are you watching?
    • I'm looking at the final drive, and that's where I'm laying the blame at Bryce's feet. Stepping up to the line, 38 seconds left, 3 time outs on the clock. 30 yards needed to attempt a FG. It's not Bryce's job to call the plays, that's DC's and it was terrible play calling.  It's Bryce's job to read what the defense is giving him at the line. The middle of the field is open. Rams are guarding against the deep ball and bringing pressure leaving the middle of the field ripe for the taking. Knowing his line not holding up for long, Bryce should have read the defense, called the audible, and thrown to the middle of the field for 6- 8 yards, like you said, quick slants would have worked. Then run either hurry up or call a TO. We had time. He has to make the adjustments. Any QB has to make the adjustments.  The pass Horn dropped hit his hands but was at his knees. Should he have slid and caught it? Probably. Was the pass a good one? No it wasn't. Both players were at fault, not just Horn. Let's not pretend that Bryce threw a beautiful pass that hit the receiver chest high right in the hands in perfect stride because that damn sure wasn't the throw.  The defense didn't choke away a lead. They never had a real lead. Choking away a lead is being up by multiple scores late in the 4th and losing. We were up by 4 and handed the ball back to a potential MVP with an All pro WR and potential future HoF WR2. One score games in the 4th are a slug fest. 28-3. That's choking away a lead.  I don't solely blame Bryce for the game, but you seem to solely blame the defense for the game because they went to prevent after losing Horn. You are forgetting the short field that the offense left them that led to the early Puka TD on one of our 2 failed 4th down conversions. Our defense has been given very limited resources over the past 3 years while we have tried to put everything possible around Bryce. We added a little bit to the D this year after giving up a NFL record in points last year. Our defense overachieved based on what they've been given to work with.
