This is a 10-6 team.

[Icege]

The next 4 games are going to be major as well as winnable.

We've got ATL next and at the end of this quarter of the season. After the first ATL game, it's a home game vs. CHI and then traveling to NO. A lot of folks would consider 2-2 a possibility while there's a realistic chance of the team going 3-1 if they dunk on ATL in their dome to start the stretch. At that point, they're going to feel like their season is in the tank and if that low morale and poor play follows thru their games vs. MIN + DET we could be in for a fun home game.

I'm especially looking forward to the NO game because I'm expecting it to give us plenty for the team to work on and prepare for in the future.

I mean, I love the optimism.

My goal is 6 games. I'd love to beat Ron rivera's record last year.

If we win 6 games, Snake said he would kiss his own ass.  I have that in writing.

Don’t forget some of our rookies may hit the wall after 10 or 12 games. They’re not used to physically playing a 16 game season

wonder if that wall will be the same this year.....I mean they still have the adjustment but it might be slightly easier given they didn't have 4 preseason games and the same offseason leading into the year.

They didn't have to play those pre-season games, though, so there's that.

They're athletes; I think they'll handle it.

Every game is winnable. 

Not the way we played our first 2 games. That was to be expected with no mini camps and preseason. 

For those whom thought we wouldn't improve, y'all should stop drinking and drugging.

nothing is cake in the nfl lol. gotta beat atlanta this week. see sustained effectiveness from the defense and bury their season. it seems like the offense will have us hanging around in games with just about anyone and thats not nothing.

4-14

[ladypanther]

The Saints could be in play for a couple of wins...remember...our QB and OC know them very well.  This scrappy Panthers team, which is getting better every week, could just surprise them.

The key to most of the games is going to be turnovers.  Hoping that as Teddy gets more comfortable he can eliminate the mistakes.  Looks like the D is getting more aggressive.

That would be awesome.  If Snow's D can get to Matty, he will crumble

[stirs]

We are one injury to Teddy from not winning another game, so I think square wheels might be in order here.

6-10 was my prediction back in the summer, but will stick with it until we duplicate this past Sundays efforts.

The only team with a winning record (Bucs) handled us pretty well.

[CPF4LIFE]

If we can beat the falcons i will be more optimistic, that team has been our kryptonite or Rons since the superbowl run.  Im anxious to see how the new staff does against a division rival who has had us figured out the last couple years.

Looking at our remaining schedule, I only see 4 more losses against the Saints (split), Bears, Chiefs and Packers. The rest of the schedule is cake. No reason at all why we shouldn’t finish 10-6 and easily make the playoffs this year. 

Why would we lose to the Bears they're garbage? The Saints, depending how we play against a high powered offense this weekend, it's potential we can sweep them esp since they don't throw deep. Green Bay could be a toss up. Chiefs are definitely a no. But our defense could randomly match up well. I think the Pats game will be closer than most think tonight because of the defense.

[RumHam]

I'm seeing 9-7. Last two years we got hot right here going forward then tanked. I think we see that again running four in a row
