Not to rain on the positivity parade but this Sunday has the makings of a bloodbath.

I don't know about anybody else, but my optimism is for down the road a little bit, not this week or even this season.

What Tepper did earlier in the week was like flushing a toilet.  The stink will linger for a while but the source is gone.

True but we are staring 1-6 right in the face with the Rams then the Bucs next week and after that against a underrated Falcons team, do we really want to win a lot of meaningless games after being 1-6 or 1-7 and screw our draft position?!

Kupp has a foot injury, Donald has a foot injury, we've been playing 4pm games for two weeks straight, Rams are averaging 16 point a game. We might lose but Rams aren't scaring anybody this year so far. 

 

Playing the 49ers and Bills skew that

Wasn't this the dude who predicted a long playoff run last week?

16 points per game? We got a chance then!

For me, down the road is just not getting run off the field and looking clueless by the end of the season.  Actual impact on wins and losses is another level of improvement that given our offense may take a while.

It is very hard to change an offensive scheme during the season.  Doing so often makes the problem worse before it gets better.

Are any of us really going to be upset if the Panthers don’t win another game all year? That’s the best possible outcome at this point. 

We can prob go 2-15 and still get the 1st pick I hope

I gathered that, and got a good laugh about the response!  Quite appropriate.

I get the Rams don't seem to be scoring a lot this year, but they've played the Bills, 49ers and Cowboys.  That's the top three scoring defenses in the league.  That's like the murderers row of defenses.

Every other day a random erratic prediction post

Im as thrilled as anybody that Rhule is gone, beyond ecstatic. I am seeing a lot of expectations from the fan base that Wilks is possibly the answer and he will even do so well that he becomes our new HC, don’t get me wrong I like him, I love the story and I would love to see that happen. 

But we have to look at facts, we fired Rhule and replaced him with a HC that has a 3-13 record as a HC, starting a 3rd string QB who has 2 TDs 8 ints his time here, with a defense that is banged up and playing under a brand new interim DC.

On top of all this, we are facing a Rams team in a West Coast game across the country that is desperate to be back at .500 before they have their bye week. We are currently 10 point underdogs according to Vegas and they are rarely wrong.

My guess is it will look promising and close the first QTR or 2 but will get out of control fast. 

Last time we went to the west coast and were 10 point dogs?

was also PJ’s last start.   And I don’t have to tell you what happens when PJ starts a game.

Somehow the run to the NFC Championship Game ended when Rhule was fired

[demcj]

every week so far has had the makings of a bloodbath.

i'm shocked the defense has been able to keep things as manageable as they have.

I appreciate your sticking to that joke, but I look forward to it no longer being the case as well.
