He's just saying that we're still in position to have a successful season at 1-2, as other teams have proven. It's not that hard to understand.

Thank you.

My point was it doesn't matter what anybody did last year.

I understand your point. I'm simply saying a lot of people thought that Pittsburgh had a shot at repeating, and that Arizona would be a contender. I don't think their fan bases are panicking quite that much yet.

I think to open the season with 2 straight losses is of course a bad thing. But if we can win MNF, tak a week off, and then play a WASH team that looks BBBAAADDD to me, then we can start taking a collective deep breath and calming down.

To expand a little:

Super Bowl Champions: Steelers (1-2)

Super Bowl Runner Up: Cardinals (1-2)

Championship Opponents:

- Ravens (3-0)

- Eagles (2-1)

Divisional Opponents:

- Chargers (2-1)

- Giants (3-0)

- Titans (0-3)

- Panthers (0-2)

(apparently it was better to play the Sunday game last year)

Wild Cards:

- Vikings (3-0)

- Dolphins (0-3)

- Colts (3-0)

- Falcons (2-1)

Three of last year's twelve playoff teams have yet to win a game, while two more - the Super Bowl teams -have only a single win to their credit.

Interesting :sosp:

Not especially meaningful, but interesting :lol:

It's a valid point, and a legit possibility.

As as aside, there's a devilish little part of my brain that would looove to see what would happen to the Cowboy fanbase if they lose their second straight game in the Ego Dome.

It is interesting. I know last year is last year in the NFL, but players and coaches and all NFL eople will tell you how anyone can beat anyone on any given Sunday. If my math is correct, we are not mathematically eliminated from having a 14-2 season yet. Doesn't matter if the wins come during the beginning, middle, or end of the season.

I know I'm usually overly optimistic, but the panic button is out of control in here lately. Maybe I'm wrong and our team truly is shitty, but that's what they go out and play the games for.

If someone told you in January of last season that in week 3 of the 2009 season the Titans, Dolphins, Panthers, Steelers and Cardinals would have 2 combined wins, they'd probably say you're crazy.

Carolina 27 - Dallas 20

No one's. I just call it like I see it. And from what I see, you like basking in negativity here. As a Saints fan, you may be accustomed to giving up after week 2. Once we're 4 out of the division lead, I might begin to worry. I guess I'm just your typical, delusional fan.

Don't mind SaintJ. He's soaking up the Saints good fortunes while he can, because he knows it won't last too long. I actually heard that they think that thing on Drew Brees' face is malignant and spreading. Bummer. :eek:

I was making a valid point, leave it up to some homerish baby to make this a smack thread.

I was making a joke about Drew's facial growth. Don't take it personally. It was just divisional banter. Unless it really is cancerous. Then I'll feel bad.

In January.

      Passing yards per game leaders

      I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
