The answer is that yesterday we played the Skins as opposed to the teams we have lost to which include Atlanta, Seattle, Tampa (away), NYG, Dallas, and Chicago...conceivably other than Tampa every one of those teams is a playoff team....and even Tampa could be a playoff team when all is said and done.

We haven't had the benefit of playing bad teams. Even the teams we played with mediocre records are better than most of the league...such as Dallas and Seattle.

So...the short answer is that we played a team equally as bad as us yesterday and that's why we won. Beat Denver this week and maybe I'll believe differently.

I think we have a shot at Denver. They love to man up on the outsides and leave them on an island with the WRs. If Fox is crazy enough to play that game against Smitty, it has to be exploited. If he doesn't lose his mind, then we need another WR to blow the top off the D - insert Gettis.

Defensively, you have to be physical and bump their WRs at the line. Manning will pick us apart with that bail-at-the-snap crap. Our current CBs live for this type of play. They love to get their hands on WRs and push them around. Keuchly and the LB group will have their hands full with McGahee and that run game, but I think their up for the challenge.

I will give Rivera lots of props for the way the D & team have played recently. I will give him congratulations when he gives us some consistency...

Do we fire any of the coaches? Lets see how the next 8 weeks play out. Chud may have fugged up the 1st half, but as long as he has realized his mistakes and fixes them let him keep going. He had given us a very entertaining to watch offense, if not semi-productive. All of us were 100% behind Chud after last season. Im sure he thought his 'new' gameplan would work, you dont do what he did without figuring on success. Rivera just kept feedin him rope, and the new plan hung him. Chud gets things back on track, then Im willing to forgive him for his mistake(s). If not, then off he goes...

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
