Dallas is the best team we have faced by a good margin especially on offense.  I think we will lose this one by a few scores without CMC.  If we somehow win this game it would be an amazing confidence boost to this team.

You're really placing your bets on the "lose this one by a few scores" thing, huh? 🤔

After Dallas we face...

PHI / MIN / NYG / ATL / NE 

In that order, even if we were to lose, I think we can pull it off, those are 5 very winnable games and could see us at 8-1 with a loss to DAL. 

If we beat DAL, we could be looking at 9-0. 

This part of our schedule it ripe for the taking to set up a playoff appearance. Sam has been developing each week, and we still have Chuba, and Royce, factor in DJ's continued emergence, Robbie will get his, TMJ, and Tremble, we have more than enough fire power to keep up with anyone, and our defensive pressure is top tier. 

Henderson brings damn near the same physical profile / tools as Horn, once he's acclimated behind this front paired with Jackson, and Bouye...I feel good about our chances Sunday.

Not a turning point.  I think a win means more than a loss as long as the players aren't deflated by losing.  You look at teams like the Bucs or KC with losses, but their seasons aren't over and they are still playoff contenders, if not SB contenders.  It's all on the players mentality afterwards.

I think we win if our defense continues to do what it has done all year, and I think it will.

So yea, if we lose the game, the season isnt over, but OP is right that this is a springboard.  I think of 2015 panthers vs seattle.  At that point, we were 4-0, doin good but not putting teams away, then we went into Seattle and beat the seahawks in a place that they dont lose.  That was the wakeup for the NFL that we were for real and you have to take us seriously. when you look at the rest of the next like 5 weeks, no game would scream that besides possibly a solid win against the cowboys. conclusion, a loss isnt a big deal, but a win puts the league on notice.

The Eagles, Giants, and Falcons all look like they will be competing for top 5 picks and the Pats have a rookie QB going up against our Defense. Minnesota is the only team I consider a threat out of that bunch, they could also easily be 3-0 right now.

Anybody on our schedule can beat us, and we can beat anyone too.

3-0 doesn't mean anything. Plenty of teams crumble from early success and many rise from poor starts. One opponent, one play at a time.

I thought we would really struggle against New Orleans, but we dominated. I don't try to forecast too much because it's an exercise in futility. I just enjoy the ride.

I will say that *if* we win, it will likely be due to consistent pressure on Dak. Fail to do that, and it will probably be a frustrating day.

Cowboys defense is dogshit, but their offense is fairly legit. You can't replace CMC, even by committee, but you can pivot to other playmakers, and I believe that's what we'll do. Luckily we have a TON of them. Everyone is worried about Dak dinking and dunking on us, but that's exactly what I think we'll do to them. Meanwhile, watching the Eagles lack of pressure compared to what we've been doing for three weeks makes me feel prettay, prettay, prettay good about our chances at holding them under 20 points. 

Of course it could always blow up in our faces, but that's what everyone thought would happen last week when CMC went down and look at what actually happened. The crybabies on this board will always revert to their true defeatist forms whenever something adverse happens to the team during a game. I like to remain optimistic. This is not Rivera's team anymore, and all of the nonsense we endured during his roller coaster tenure here has been exorcised.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
