I think Sunday is definitely a must-win...

we HAVE to beat the Jags at home. If not, we could be 0-6 to start the year and no matter what Cam is doing he will be critisized for not being able to get that first win under his belt. I'm highly nervous, we can't afford to lose to Luke McCown, but without TD and Beason no wins will be easy. I think after another good week of practice we will improve even more and I would be very surprised if we didn't win. Anyone else still extremely nervous and have similar opinions though? I'm almost dreading it...

Yep. Season basically over if we lose.

Lots of "everyone believe!@" threads. Losses don't matter!!

Can't lose.

Screw that. Not if we're going 0-3, 0-4....0-5.

We're actually in do or die mode right now, because I do expect more losses to come, but the Jags are our best chance this Sunday. The perfect win to get some confidence.

No excuses for this game. We have what it takes to take them down. Like I said yesterday, it's up to the coaches to get this team ready by Sunday. That will be the difference maker.

Cam needs to go to sleep every night this week mumbling: 3rd and 1 with nowhere to throw, in 4th down territory....throw the ball away, throw the ball away, throw the ball away.

We had six red zone appearances against the Packers. I'm hoping that they are learning how to punch it into the endzone this week because our team struggles with a short field. Once they figure it out and work out the kinks...look out NFL because we are going to be explosive and defenses will dread playing us. Cam is the man, I've said so from day one but he also has a lot good weapons around him. Lafell has really helped out a lot more than I expected which is great. Smitty needs to kick it up a notch in my opinion. Too many dropped passes and that wonderful fumble that he had last week. You couldn't ask for a better group of tight ends that know how to play in this Chud offense. We just need to gel a little bit more, then we'll all be happy. Let's give them time. I'm already assuming that we aren't making a playoff appearance this year. The sooner everyone comes to grips with it, the better off we'll be.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      Witnessing and FEELING the NFL bend us over and grab our ankles in Super Bowl 50 in real-time…  that was the turning point for me.  I have not viewed the NFL, or pro sports for that matter, the same, ever since.  Look at the NBA.  You’re talking about astronomical odds for the #1 pick on the teams in the back-end of it.  The Mavericks mysteriously and inexplicably out of nowhere trade their franchise players - one of the biggest stars in the league, and an international superstar…  and of all places, to the LA Lakers, with LeBron.  They get back an oft-injured Anthony Davis.  Their team, including Davis, end up getting injured to the point they barely have enough healthy players to play games as the year goes on.  Their GM takes a ton of heat and never really offers a reasonable, not plausible explanation as to why they did the trade in the first place.  He also states that they never took any calls from any other teams, they never fielded any other offers for Luka, and they didn’t even take the offer elsewhere to see what other teams offered.  Absolutely no due diligence.  Now ask yourself, why would a team do that?  Not just in sports, why would any business do such a thing?  Not maximizing your return?  Not doing due diligence?  Fast forward a couple months…  the GM has been lambasted, ridiculed, and belittled the entire time since.  The lottery comes around, and the Mavs, who were just in the NBA Finals the year before, barely miss the playoffs due to all of their injuries.  Davis, Kyrie Irving, etc., all their best players were injured.  They had the smallest mathematical chance at getting the #1 pick.  Guess who got the #1 pick? The Mavericks.  So this plays out like the NBA asked the Mavs to do them a solid.  One of their blue-blood, prestigious, big market franchises needed a bump with LeBron getting older.  LA throws together a garbage package, sending them an aging star and some garbage picks for one of the biggest stars and historically one of the most incredible offensive players in NBA history, and the NBA ensures the Mavs will beat powerball odds and get the #1 pick, when it just so happens that Cooper Flagg, projected to be a generational talent, is coming out in the draft.  You scratch our back, we’ll scratch yours. Also, who got the #2 pick?  The Spurs.  A year after obtaining the #1 pick to acquire another touted generational talent in Wembanyama, after a 20+ year run as one of the most successful NBA dynasties in history.  They suddenly have their first bad year, get the #1 pick ahead of us, the Hornets (after wallowing in mediocrity for decades), and get Wemby, and now get the #2 pick the following year.     There was talk here earlier in the offseason about things lining up for us to go to the Super Bowl this year, and at the time, I half jokingly said I could see it, as the patsy for Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson’s redemption arc.  Again, after all of the poo that happened in Super Bowl 50, then watching the refs stand by idly over the next two years while week after week our opponents took cheap shot after illegal cheap shot on our once-in-a-lifetime talent in Cam Newton…  that poo took a lot of the heart out of it for me.  I’ve said for years, if big money involved, corruption is inherent.  There’s no way around it.  I’ve accepted that every professional sport is influenced by the money.  And storylines bring big money.  It has become purely entertainment with a small pinch of competition.  At least the WWE tells you exactly what they are, and thus, you can enjoy it for what it is.  The NFL and NBA specifically, specialize in crushing the hearts of fans who believe it’s still real and untainted.  fug Goodell and Silver.

      When you factor in Fox and Jake (love ya Jake but lets be real) Smitty deserves credit beyond the stats.   I know I said CMCs inclusion was all ifs and promises   That not withstanding Smith is top 4 in yards among his peers (2000-2014) Top 5 in receptions in that same time frame Only triple crown winner Didnt have Young, Romo, Warner, Manning, Brady slinging him the ball   Dunno if he is top 3 in the last 25 years cause some guys have put up stats since his prime - but Smith is very underrated for a dude in a run first offense with a less than HOF QB
