Don't get too bent out of shape, we are very much in the hunt

The Dude · 10-24-2016, 11:13 AM

Looks like our division sucks again this year. The winner or loser could come down to just one game. We can beat the falcons and we ARE getting better. This losing team is not the half hearted bad attitude teams of the past two years. They are playing with heart. A stupid fumble wound up being the difference in this game. They can clean that up.

12-4, lets ride!!!

The Dude · 10-24-2016, 11:26 AM

I think 9-7 may win the division

BusDriver · 10-24-2016, 11:53 AM

Very true. Got help on Atl over the weekend, just need to get & stay healthy and improve every week.

Agreed, we have been in every game we played 1 point 3 points 6 points.
The Atlanta game was the only one where we were out of competition.
Realistically no one is walking away with the South and thanks to the
Bolts we can still get hot and compete with Atlanta. Can't see throwing
in the towel quite yet.

Oakland Mercedes-Benz Superdome (New Orleans, LA) L 35-34
NY Giants MetLife Stadium (East Rutherford, NJ) L 16-13
Atlanta Mercedes-Benz Superdome (New Orleans, LA) L 45-32
San Diego Qualcomm Stadium (San Diego, CA) W 35-34
Carolina Mercedes-Benz (New Orleans, LA) W41-38
Kansas City Arrowhead Stadium (Kansas City, MO) L 27-21

No the sky is not falling. They need to take care of the ball better.

We are 2-4 we have been down this road before. I'm more worried about week 9 than I am week 8.

RailBoss · 10-24-2016, 06:09 PM

Week 9 is against the 49ers what do you know?
.......... their 1-6 and on the ropes.
The Seahawks have always been our Achilles heel.

I agree, I think Strief said it best: half the locker room has an inferiority complex. They defeat themselves before they even get on the field. As opposed to taking what they want, they settle for whatever the opposing team gives them.

When a few guys return, we should get a little experience back and a shot of swagger hopefully to turn it around. The division is not clinched by a long shot.

It wouldn't shock me if 8-8 won it either.
