This is a 10-6 team.

The next 4 games are going to be major as well as winnable.

We've got ATL next and at the end of this quarter of the season. After the first ATL game, it's a home game vs. CHI and then traveling to NO. A lot of folks would consider 2-2 a possibility while there's a realistic chance of the team going 3-1 if they dunk on ATL in their dome to start the stretch. At that point, they're going to feel like their season is in the tank and if that low morale and poor play follows thru their games vs. MIN + DET we could be in for a fun home game.

I'm especially looking forward to the NO game because I'm expecting it to give us plenty for the team to work on and prepare for in the future.

Don’t forget some of our rookies may hit the wall after 10 or 12 games. They’re not used to physically playing a 16 game season

wonder if that wall will be the same this year.....I mean they still have the adjustment but it might be slightly easier given they didn't have 4 preseason games and the same offseason leading into the year.

They didn't have to play those pre-season games, though, so there's that.

They're athletes; I think they'll handle it.

nothing is cake in the nfl lol. gotta beat atlanta this week. see sustained effectiveness from the defense and bury their season. it seems like the offense will have us hanging around in games with just about anyone and thats not nothing.

The Saints could be in play for a couple of wins...remember...our QB and OC know them very well.  This scrappy Panthers team, which is getting better every week, could just surprise them.

The key to most of the games is going to be turnovers.  Hoping that as Teddy gets more comfortable he can eliminate the mistakes.  Looks like the D is getting more aggressive.

We are one injury to Teddy from not winning another game, so I think square wheels might be in order here.

6-10 was my prediction back in the summer, but will stick with it until we duplicate this past Sundays efforts.

The only team with a winning record (Bucs) handled us pretty well.

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. 

Why would we lose to the Bears they're garbage? The Saints, depending how we play against a high powered offense this weekend, it's potential we can sweep them esp since they don't throw deep. Green Bay could be a toss up. Chiefs are definitely a no. But our defense could randomly match up well. I think the Pats game will be closer than most think tonight because of the defense.

    • 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.
