Is it me or do you guys think we'll get destroyed against the Taints?

I'm sorry. I just don't have much faith in a Rivera led team in the Superdome against Molewich. I know their defense is trash but their defense has been trash every year. Just saying. My thoughts on us playing them there. Hope I'm wrong.

It interesting that we have some our fans saying our team is led by our coach.When we were so bad and had Rodney Peete and were losing to Jacksonville the coach put in Delomme. Delomme energized and led them to the victory.Why cant people put a Cam led team when referring to this years Panthers or a defense led by Luke.Rivera is not out there playing.

Do Bronco fans refer to the Broncos as a Fox led team or manning led team.It is about time for Cam to take this by the horn.

Would love to finish the season 7-9 and I think its easily possible. Saints will be fired up and Brees will want revenge, but our team seems to be hungry and focused finally. Ending the season 7-9 after 7 close losses would hurt, but also give the team an optimistic look going into next season.

I expect the Saints to come out on fire, but when it all settles down, our DL gets to Brees and they wont stop Cam.

he has a birthmark not a mole. That's like the lowest intelligent form of insulting.

We also had that last season. And in 2009, 2007, 2006, 2004. If we retain Rivera and he can't learn how to win close games, he needs to be out by Oct 1 in 2013.

Unfortunately for Rivera we are peaking when there is nothing to play for. I think it's close but Brees squeaks out a win at home. The Saints were basically at their worst during our first meeting this season and we only beat them by a TD. Nothing makes me think we put up a better showing than that when we're playing in the Dome.

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
