I have to admit

poydras · 10-09-2012, 08:40 AM

I went to the game just hoping that Drew would set the record and not really caring if we won or not because I didn't want to mess up our next draft, but I admit that after spending 3 hours watching rivers run up to the referrees waving his arms and yelling and throwing his little hissy fits play after play after play that by the end I was saying "To heck with the future; Send that whining baby back home to his mommy with a big L".

IF, and its a big IF... IF we can win our next two after the bye, I think we have a legit shot at a wildcard spot. We'd be 3-4 and playing most of the teams we need to beat to make the playoffs.

Call me crazy but I think this team is capable of going on a 9-2 run.

I don't know why that would be crazy. I think they can still win the division...but only because there is so much football left and I've learned from many past experiences that I don't know nothing about what is going to happen until it happens.

A normal year I would say yes, the failcons could have some bad luck and we could get hot and embark on a long winning streak, but without Sean, and ANOTHER coaching change on the horizon, I just don't see that happening.

The coaching change in the horizon is not a bad thing at all, on the contrary: Kromer will be back to full o-line coaching duties. I actually expect the o-line to be better after that. I also expect the LB play to pick up a bit: right now, the have 0 attention from Vitt. When Vitt comes back, they at least have some attention from him.

LB play should get better if Vilma and Hawthorne can get back on the field as well.

Well I think you're crazy. Through 5 games we have given up the second most yards on defense...EVER. Our defense is THAT bad. We're giving up what, an average of 30 points a game?

I take it back. I don't think you're crazy. You are hopeful. I am too. Anything could happen. Still, we gave up over 400 yards Sunday night...again.

I want to be wrong so bad I can't stand it. I want that 9-2 run so bad it hurts. I'd LOVE to shove an amazing comeback story like that right up Roger's nozzle - oh how I'd love it. I hope and I pray.

But I'm afraid that even with improvement on defense - and we did see some Sunday night - 9-2 is a very tall order. Getting our defense back to the middle of the pack, which I think will be required for 9-2, is a very tall order considering just how bad it is.

But you're not crazy. You're a Sunshiner. I'm a founding member of that party. I'm trying Danno. Truly I am trying.
