Re: Playoff contenders
Bucs? Uhh no! Is this a serious comment? Do you actually think they are significantly better than we are? Why? Redskins, they are not significantly better than we are. Probably equal to us I'll admit but no, they are not significantly better than we are. Packers? Maybe. Their offense and defense were just mediocre last year. I don't think they made any significant changes either. We improved quite a bit more on defense than they did. Might be your only valid point, but I wouldn't say they're much better than we are. Vikings, they just lost their 2nd best player on offense for the year. Bradford is no Teddy Bridgewater. Shaun Hill will be taking snaps by week 8. Just my opinion but I think your wrong on all 4 points. |

And trust me if you don't want Carolina to win a SB you better be hoping for GB to win because they are the only team that can win in Carolina in January because they are not a west coast team. I sure would hope GB was that much better than us if we were not good because I believe Carolina has no chance in Lambeau in January. A inexperienced playoff team is not even beating Carolina at home sorry to say. There are only three teams and two of them are fighting each other in the division which takes away from their HFA potential because of the other two pesty rivals. |

I can easily see them dropping two or three in a row early and that ***** Newton pouting through the rest of the season.

Changes on defense we made yeah that's great but our Guards are trash we can't win football games when Brees is running for his life ...

Won't have it this year... 7-9 football team ... Oline is everything and we failed to upgrade that...
I'm going to be cheering for this team to win every game like I always have... That will never change ... But the place we needed improvement oline didn't happen so I see another 7-9 aka mediocre season... |
I just want a pass rush... Is that so hard to find.... Apparently....
