When you look at last year- most fans will say that the highlight of the season was on MNF vs Tampa when we rushed for 300 yards..

IMHO- the Cardinals game will be the highlight of our 2009 season when its all said and done.

we still have on our schedule:

Atlanta

Miami

NY Jets

Tampa

New England

Minnesota

New York

Saints

Can you see us beating anybody on that list and it being more exciting than the Cardinals win was?

In all honesty I don't see why we can't finish 9-7. IMO you got the "easy" wins - Tampa and Miami.

Then you got the Jets, who I think we can beat pretty handily.

Then I think we can give the Saints and Falcons a run for their money at home. I can see us beating the Falcons without much problem.

Then the game I think we can win is against the Giants. They are playing worse then us right now.

Miamihard to say

NY Jetspotential win

Tampawin

New Englandgod help us

Minnesotagod help us

New Yorkif they don't improve = win

Saintsit would be nice to shut them up

so i say we can still get 4 -5 more wins, 6 if we can pull an upset over viking or pats. 8-8 yes, but still a sucess after 0-3

an easy win? you do know you guys barely beat the horrible redskins and the 1 win tampa bucs right?

you do know we played the saints, colts and new england (3 of the best in the league) their toughest games yet.....

you do know we have scored 30+ points 4 out of the last 5 games right?

i cant wait till next thursday......we have the toughest schedule in the league....and with a good WR we would have beat the colts, saints and patriots.....

but please....continue thinking it will be a "easy win" on a short week, after you play a division opponet....when we play the bucs at home the game before......

the panthers are the #3 rushing offense in the nfl.....guess whos #4? miami.

heres what stinks about that......for you....

we are also the #5 best rushing defense in the league. carolina? #23

guess who is the #1, 2 and 4 defenses giving up the least points this season? colts (1) new england (2) and the jets (4)

we scored 34 on the colts, 17 on new england......and 30+ points twice this season against the jets.

but please, by all means....consider us an easy win :D

I don't think Miami will be an easy win. They could have beat NE this last week with a few more good plays.

the phins will be a bigger challenge than most of you think

thank you boys.....this game will be a tough one, iam looking forward to it....unlike some your friends here...im not chalking this game up to anything but a smash mouth, short week battle between two good teams who are IMO better than what their record says they are.

ill be tailgating at bo's tailgate next week.....hope i see some people there :cool:

I don't think that it will be easy at all. Anyone in this league can win any given sunday ask the Cards (wow that works both ways). Did anyone give TB a chance in hell of beating GB? Nope, no one can know how a game will go down until its over.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
