Dare we say it now?

I don't know if they can win all the games, but I do believe they can be favorites going into every game.

Like PAPZ one week at a time. I would ALMOST prefer a loss or 2, just to let guys know what happens when each player doesn't carry his load. Winning is contageous, and it feels pretty good, but all would be for nought if we burn up the regular season then have a lull during the real season. Give me Miami in February: 18-0, 15-3, or 13-5, the numbers that lead to Miami don't even matter.

Above all the team needs to stay grounded and I think they are doing so. I do not think losing teaches you anything unless the team is suffering from a swelled head then you deserve a loss. More so is that you got outplayed or a bounce does not go your way, the ball slips out of your hand or whatever. Things are going to happen and how much harder would it be to be like New England and win them all but one. OUCH! I think the possibility is there that we may not go without a loss. Do I want us to be the second team to win all + the big one (Bet Your Arse) I am worried about our division first and NFC next. If we are going to lose I sure hope it will be an AFC team.

No matter how soft the Bucs and Panthers, sweeping the division is a very, very difficult thing to do.

I'm still not willing to predict a perfect season ( how did that work out for the Patriots?) I'm looking for home field advantage, if we can get that then the Superbowl is possible. But that is still a long time away and I'm looking at Miami as a possible stumbling block...Let's not forget the Falcons won Sunday and only have one loss.

I'm just looking for a wildcard spot.
