0 respect. I mean 11 is ok. The rest are just purely based off of the fact that the saint supposedly were missing their whole team when we played them. Unless I’m mistaken when they played the Packers they were missing a few players. The difference of who they were missing against us even adding in the coaches should equate to pure domination at the extent we handed to them. Take away that bad mistake by Darnold trying to shovel it to Hubbard and then Aints wouldn’t have even smelled the red zone and gotten shut out. 

So many salty, butt hurt Saints fan are making the “coaches and players being out” the excuse as to why they lost and we are still a bad team. 
Wish we were playing them again soon. When we beat them again what will their excuse be this time I wonder?

Raise your hand if you thought the Carolina Panthers would be leading the NFL in total defense and scoring defense after two games. Now put your hand down—lying is wrong. Yes, the Panthers have benefitted from matchups with the hapless Jets and a game against the New Orleans Saints in which bad Jameis Winston showed up. But Brian Burns, Haason Reddick and the Carolina defense deserves credit for how well they have played. Now the Panthers are travelling to Houston to play a Texans team that will be rolling out a rookie quarterback making his first career start in Davis Mills. The good times just keep on rolling.

Not to look ahead because we need to focus and take care of Houston on Thursday but I seem to recall it wasn't till our complete thrashing of the Cowboys on thanksgiving that the whole world took notice that the 2015 Panthers were an absolute juggernaut. Several experts had even picked the Cowboys to win that game even though we entered 10-0. And if that sounds outlandish, just check this link: https://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2015/11/25/9796444/2015-nfl-picks-predictions-experts-week-12-panthers-cowboys-seahawks-steelers-falcons-vikings

 

It's possible the Cowboys may serve a similar role this year.

I can understand why they didn't have us in the top 10 yet. I really believe that our defense has the ability to carry us until Sam can get completely comfortable and have him win games on his own. I think having this primetime game will help too. People who haven't seen us are going to be shocked.

Most everyone jumped us up quite a bit. CBS jumped us 12 spots to 11. We'll be in the top 10 with more than a few after this week I suspect. 

On top of it, we leap froged the saints who are now at 13.

I wasn't expecting this.  

Welp, they know we're coming now.

    • The guys who are the top 3 in the draft compared to XL have less room for growth. Especially Harrison. He's been groomed his whole life for this by a legend. He's naturally gifted and well trained for being the top. He'll get better, but he won't get much better than where he is right now, imo...not compared to XL. I'm not saying that XL will be better than Harrison, just that Harrison's floor is a lot bigger than XLs because of the investment made in him from essentially birth. He had advantages that XL just didn't have. XL is just now getting into a position where he can receive solid coaching and opportunity he's never had before. He's naturally gifted an old supposedly very coachable and takes to coaching well. There's no telling how good he can be.
    • Who is to say what's realistic and, even at that....who the fug cares what anyone's "realistic" take is? I'm not upset by anyone's take on it. I'm just an advocate for something other than the take that there's no reason to be optimistic. A realistic take, in my opinion (because there is no objectivity in anyone's take at this point) is that the season hasn't been played yet and there's been movement that can be seen as us heading in a positive direction ...or a negative one, depending on your perspective. I don't believe the part to be an accurate predictor of the future if changes have been made. And don't think you aren't allowed to get in a discussion with me just because I'm a mod. I don't ban people for disagreeing with me. I just look for reasons to feel good about the team. It's easy to feel like crap about it based on the past. I'm just tired of feeling like that so i quit. We aren't losing yet so why not take a moment to feel ok about what's going on? Again, that's just me. I'm giving an alternative to the easy pessimistic takes.
    • I don't think there is anyway Bryce Young can stink....and remain the starting QB past this year.  NFL history of late strongly goes against that.  Then you got Tepper as the ice cream on top.
