Strange season forming

Bengals - they are starting to run out of time to make their run. next couple of years are a do or die deal.

Cardinals - no surprise here IMO. boy can that team draft. their push has just started

Eagles all flash and dash. they maybe the Cinderellas of the NFC East. what a weak division. early on but i do not see them making it far in the playoffs.

Tell ya win the South and we are sitting pretty good.
Atlanta must fall
Tampa and Carolina can be had.

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

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

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

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.

We got this...

14-2 coming up.

It COULD happen.
