Re: Remaining Schedule

I do not see us dropping both 49ers and Cowboys at home. So if we drop the 49ers at home and sea-hawks on the road then possibly Panthers in NC, then we are 11-5. I still say we go 12-4.

The Panthers are playing well but have not beat any teams .. actually

Panthers have beat Giants 2-6, Vikings 1-7, Rams 3-6, Bucs 0-8, Falcons 2-6 (Falcons are the only team not in last place in their division that the panthers have beaten.. I see them dropping 1 to the Saints at least, 1 to 49ers, and 1 to the Falcons in Atl, minimum...

I see it the same way i did with the #3 Sack DE of the Bills Mario Williams... His whole schedule was against the most sacked QBs in the league... He got 1 against us.

Come to think of it. The Saints haven't either.

I was just getting ready to say this. Not only haven't we beaten any particularly good teams the best QB we've beaten is Jay Cutler.

6-2 is good but it hasn't been pretty.

But I think we'll go 11-5 and win the division.

We beat a healthy Atlanta, Miami, @Tampa before their implosion, @ Chicago, Arizona, and Buffalo.

None of those teams suck. Well Tampa and Atlanta do now but didn't when we played them.

Carolina beat a sorry Giants team, a sorry St Louis and Minnesota team, lost to Buffalo and Arizona (who we beat) and beat a severely weakened Atlanta and Tampa.

Our 6-2 is a hell of a lot more impressive than their 5-3.

I wouldn't say a "hell of a lot" but makes sense. We still haven't beaten a playoff caliber team though. Let's start Sunday night.

Well looking at it that way, we've only played one, and if it weren't for numerous dubious calls we likely beat them by 2 scores in their own backyard.

We usually play up or down to our competition. I don't think there is a team in the NFL that we can't beat, it just depends on the game we play.

Week 10 is a massive week for shaping playoff wannabes.

One can argue that we have not beat any teams really either. Everyone we have beaten except the Bears have a losing record. So the same can be said for us. They have also been beating teams by a wide margin of victory. Our games have all gone down to the wire except for Cardinals. The Panthers also seem to have our number. Some of those games didn't really matter because we were already locks, but they were beating us even before we started pulling starters. Their D is better than any D we have played this year and our offense simply cannot play against old school, smash mouth, fundamentally sound defenses.

All that said I still think we take the division. Whatever happens after that depends on the offensive line. Hell NY did it twice and came in as wild cards so anything can happen.
