This is a 10-6 team.

[PanthersNC1984]

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.

Easy cowboy, things could easily come crashing down next week against what should be a desperate Falcons team. Let’s wait and see how the next few weeks go before we start running our weeners up the flag pole 

[Jeremy Igo]

I mean, I love the optimism.

My goal is 6 games. I'd love to beat Ron rivera's record last year.

Not only that but I’d love to have a better record than Ron’s “Washington football team”

[PhillyB]

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

[Moo Daeng]

Whoa there......

[Bronn]

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.

[Davidson Deac II]

I saw some encouraging signs, but in the end, the only thing we proved yesterday was that we will win at least two games this year. 

[PhillyB]

yeah i'd say 9-7 is our ceiling, which ironically might be enough for the division title this year

maybe we'll get a fun, nothing-to-lose playoff game a la cards in 2014

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

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

[Bronn]

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.

[CRA]

at this stage I can argue anywhere from 4-8 wins.   I can't get to 10.  Not knowing all the defensive problems that exists on the back 7 and the passing attacks we will face down the road.
