San Francisco or at Atlanta
..............We could win both those games I mentioned last but we would not win both playing all 8 quarters. Not enough rest.

It comes down to these three games that have me nervous
Atlanta
@New York J
Dallas

I don't think we beat TB week 2. The last game will depend if we can still get in or not. So these are the games that imo decide our season. Anywhere from 7-9 to 11-5.

I am not even sure we will lose the Chicago and NE games given their state.

I think we will lose one at Atl and at Car. I think we will drop possibly one more, could be the San Fran game, but the good news about the San Fran game is, we could turn around and beat San Fran in the playoffs.

Whoa! 5 yards separated us from being 0-1 so I'm not ordering my Super Bowl tickets yet. Defense looked ok but we can NOT be a field goal kicking team. We have got to tighten that up. The good news is that we're starting out 1-0 and everyone else in the NFC South started out 0-1.

True. We haven't done anything more than win a game. Still, it was against Atlanta, and they do have some weapons. It may only be one win, but it was an encouraging one for sure!

It was kinda' nice for a change not having to hang your hopes for a victory on just the offense though, eh?

. I said it once and I'll say it again, "It might not be pretty and we might lose a few fans along the way from heart attack, but everything's gonna' be alright",

The more important thing is that we won a close game, and one we could have lost at the end. Once you start winning those it tends to repeat because the team THINKS they're going to win them. On the other hand, for the second game in a row, the failcons failed to score the winning touchdown when they had four plays right under the goal post. Losing like that can become a self fulfilling prophesy.

You're absolutely right and I like your style working that Failclown fun-fact in there at the end,

. But it is true, look at the leads Can'tlanta lost last season, especially in the playoffs, did they even think they could hold onto a 10pt lead in the Mercedes-Benz Dome? Like you said, 'self-fulfilling prophecy',

Go back and read your OP. Crawfish all you like.

A goal line stand against a lethal offense where our rookie draft pick; that most didn't want, broke up a pass to a Hall of Fame TE is hardly frame-able as a ho-hum 5 yard separation between W/L
