I think Sharper got an advance from the football gods for all our turnovers for the next 5 years back in '09...We really haven't had a lot since that year. We haven't really had any since the first half of 2013, but i suspect only because the defense was playing with a lead for most games. I find this to be the most puzzling aspect of our team. Aside from Lofton our linebackers are lackluster for the most part and create 0 plays on the ball. Lofton is mainly just a solid player occasionally creates a fumble. I just don't understand how they are absolutely incapable of creating ANY. It is bewildering to say the least.

Nobody's running away in the NFC. Packers are 1-2, 49ers 1-2, Seahawks, Falcons, Panthers all 2-1. We are fine. Just can't afford too many more letdowns.

Saints, Vikings and Ravens this weekend will make it all better

No doubt. Noticed how Pittsburgh RAN the ball right into the teeth of the vaunted Carolina D?

I still cant see this team doing anything this year. I love my team always will, but to me the team isnt going to be a top 5 team at all. I will strike a nerve to some with this. But we dont even make the playoffs. Just prove me wrong Saints

Re: Strange season forming
 

The next couple weeks are crucial, if our team wakes up and starts a winning streak I'll feel a lot better

The team so far hasn't performed how we envisioned, just have to hope the team performs how we know they can

It will start with D living up to expectations and forcing some turnovers/ getting consistent pressure.

this season is designed to where we wont know anything about the NFL until mid to late season.

Re: Strange season forming
 

We got this...

14-2 coming up.

It COULD happen.

What a long strange trip its been, already.

I don't know why people have been so dismissive of the Bengals. Everyone seemed to have that game marked of as an automatic win. I have them picked as a dark horse super bowl contender. While nobody was paying attention they put up some damn good numbers on offense last year and their defense is nothing to sneeze at either. They will destroy this defense if they don't improve.
