I'm officially declaring this a statement game for the Defense

[top dawg]

The Lions, a statement game...?

That's really going out there on a limb...

we're 1-2 against teams with winning records and 5-1 against teams with losing records.  only games left against teams with winning records (at this point) are against the saints.   10-3, while great, isn't going to be that impressive (to me).  i know what i'm seeing on the field.  a team that rarely plays to its potential.   i'm glad you're happy.   you know, again, if cam and ron don't win a sb during their tenure they will have been complete failures.   utter and complete failures.  no different than hue jackson in cleveland.  no different at all.  

 

    Oh come on. Complete failures. Just because they fail to win a SB??

 

    Do you know how many HOFers don't have a SB ring? 

 

    "10-3, while great, isn't going to be that impressive (to me).) LOL

 

    Quantifying wins is a fruitless endeavor. 5 years from now, no one cares who you beat. All they see is the record.

Dude, people can disagree with your level of optimism without being "petulant children".

I get that you want to be positive. That's great. Others are concerned, and given what we saw in the last game we watched, I'd say they have reason to be.

 

    People who act like children, get treated as such. I have civil conversations with lots of folks. You want civil discourse. Be civil. I don't think that is unreasonable.

When has a Ron Rivera coached team come out looking prepared and dominant after a long break?

i'm a child because i want my favorite team to win a super bowl?     i don't even understand your fandom.  all you've ever said is you're afraid of getting worse.  you're afraid.   that's why you react the way you do.  someone not happy with being in the upper half of the league threatens you somehow.  i don't get it.   i don't understand you.  there are actually good teams performing well almost every sunday.    we're not.  not at all.  its like this thread.  talk about pitiful expectations.   

and yeah, a complete failure.    nobody remembers anything except who won the superbowl   

[raz]

i mean, if your memory of every season we didn't win the superbowl isn't a heartache, i don't get it.  why the heck are you on a message board?   its heartbreaking, every damn time.

I honestly don't know how this defense will respond. Rivera gave them a ass chewing at half time in the Pitt game and they still laid a egg. I know Cam and Co is enough to win but this defense with this DC seems happy being bad.

well we apparently canceled practice today because a little moisture was descending from the sky so were not off to a good start on the "toughness" front.

I want to see a copy of what we did to the Lions last year. Our Defense was stout and their defense made KB look like a pro bowl receiver Lmao!

I dont know what its like in Charlotte, but here in Greenville there is flooding everywhere. I am sure the field was flooded

[raleigh-panther]

I get the sentiment and all, but to me this is kind of like getting blown out by Clemson one week but then declaring that you're a National Championship contender again the following week because you beat Eastern Illinois.
