Remaining Schedule...

[ClawOn]

Ok, too early perhaps but now that we have information on the strength of our upcoming opponents for the test of the season, the toughest contests look to be:

Cowboys, Cardinals, Bills, Buccaneers X 2. 

Even 2-3 out of those 5 get us to the playoffs.  No guarantees on the rest of the schedule but they sure all look winnable. 

12-5 seem crazy?

[SBBlue]

Little early to start county chickens, but its possible.

[Shocker]

Feels like we have been here before.  Lets just beat Houston and go from there.

[LinvilleGorge]

Getting to double digit wins would be an amazing accomplishment. 

[Luciu5]

It's possible, though Saints will likely be more difficult next time.  How much so remains to be seen, but they were missing a ton of defensive players.  I think our defense will still feast, but it will be a much tighter game I think.

At this point I think 10-11 wins, which is a more than the 7-9 I was thinking before the season started.  Our defense is 100% legit.  Darnold is not garbage.  I'm still doubtful that our offense is where it needs to be though and I think we lose at least 1 game that we should win.  It all depends if this offense can improve week over week - and stay healthy.

I think we beat the Cowboys and Cardinals. Maybe lose to Bills. Probably lose twice to Bucs but maybe win one thanks to divisional familiarity.

Well they really couldn’t be much worse. We dominated them.

You really don't know anything after a 2 game sample size. Im excited from what I've seen but I'm not going to start talking playoffs after 2 games

Saints at home are always tough.

We were 6-2 in 2018 at one point and missed the playoffs. Granted Cam’s shoulder exploded but still.  

The 2002 Panthers after 1-15 year started 3-0 and finished 7-9. I agree let’s not get too excited yet but enjoy the wins.

[Pejorative Miscreant]

Enjoy the good times.   I won’t think about discussing playoffs til after Halloween. If the is a point to discuss at that time I will think about it then.

[Aussie Tank]

Let’s just beat Houston first then look ahead

That season was similar start too, the defense feasted. Peppers vs Harrington was memorable.
