2011 Playoff teams

Week 1

Steelers lost by 28

Falcons lost by 18

Giants lost by 14

Saints* lost by 8

Week 1 is just one week of quirky football. There also were some poo teams that looked like legit contenders like the Bills who put up 41. We aren't doomed yet. Week 1 should be taken with a grain of salt....who we are will be defined by the next 3 games.

Good point, but last year was an aberration in regards to the number of teams that made it in after losing week 1. I hope we keep that trend alive this year but this was a tough loss to accept regardless.

Meh, that is a meaningless stat IMO. Doesn't matter how you get to 1-1 or 2-2.

But it was a tough loss since we caught a divisional opponent week 1. Week 1 always lies about who is legit and sucks though to a degree.

Well according to the article from Panthers.com article teams that win the opener make the playoffs 52% of the time. While losers make it 23% of the time. So there is some meaning to it.

But god damnit to lose with no heart though? That's what sucks. Not losing, but just getting out-everything in every position today sucks so damn hard.

I think the offense lacked passion but the defense, especially in the second half, played hard from whistle to whistle. Their adjustments shut down anything that TB wanted to do from midway through the second quarter till the end of the game.

The 49ers are a SB contender though...

Not really, They are playing well but just masking what they did last year. It was a great game by them and a poor game by the Packers but if anyone thinks Rogers is going to suck all year there fooling themselves.

Also on that note we should not look over a pissed off Brees next week. He will come to play.

      If they lose the last three......

      By frankw · Posted

      I presented that scenario because this is a home game and we seemed to have improved in some capacity in that area as of recently. The problem with the possibility of sweeping the Bucs is this team has had a habit of quickly falling victim to momentum shifts. The Bucs are coming off a bitter loss the same as the Panthers but the Bucs have a much better proven track record this time of year and they have performed when the pressure is on unlike our Panthers. We have a shot against the Seahawks here in BOA but that is a matchup that could quickly get out of hand because they are a well coached team and that goes back to the momentum shifts I mentioned. I just don't see this team beating the Bucs in their stadium to close the season. Tall order to say the least.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I’d give it another year for Sanders and Evans, I don’t much care what you do with Tremble’s spot. Let him have another year or maybe replace him. Haven’t looked at his contract so that may be the determining factor.

      Following the crazy up down pattern we finish 9-8 with an improbable sweep of TB, and lay an egg in the home playoff game.  I don’t know if I can sign on to sweeping TB but I suppose it’s possible, they aren’t really that good this year.    ps I can buy beating TB Sunday and losing to Seattle.  Then it just gets to can you fluke one game. Any given Sunday. So we’ll see.
