I'll start to panic if we're 1-3 after 4.

2-2 sounds about right
3-1 was optimistic
4-0 was a pipe dream.

0-4 and I'm gonna scream regime change with most of the rest of yous guys!

Re: Game 1 good notes?
 

Anything worse than 2-2 and I don't know how the higher ups ignore it, I just hope they have the stones to send Payton and his buddies packing if/when it comes to that.

Re: Game 1 good notes?
 

Well I don't think we're going to beat NE this weekend and no way we go into Carolina and beat them there in two weeks...based on last night not a snowball's chance.

We "might" beat Miami, but I'm not holding my breath. At the 1st turn we're 1-3 if we're very very lucky.

PS - I hope I'm wrong

PSS - I'm not wrong

At least they put their uniforms on right

Re: Game 1 good notes?
 

Ok I found an answer...

Re: Game 1 good notes?
 

We can still go 2-2, I don't think that's unrealistic at all. We should beat Miami, and we usually play up to our competition so it wouldn't shock me if we won 1 of 2 between NE and CAR.

One week at a time. On to New England....

I was listening to Moving the Chains on NFL Radio this afternoon and they were fairly positive about the Saints defense. Sam Bradford didn't set the all-time completion percentage record (broke Brees' record) last season because he's a chump. That offensive line that they assembled looked stout. They really liked Klein and Anzalone. They also liked Lattimore's and Marcus Willliam's performances. They said it was basically a tough match-up under the circumstances.

Missing Snead hurt, but Lewis will get some very valuable experience. Thomas is money. He is going to be our stud when they finally ride him enough.

What I'm confused about though Guido, is how PJ williams looked like Jason David out there when Theilen ran 2 different routes all game.

There were several plays that if PJ didn't just ignore Theilen, then the D line gets to Bradford.

If Theilen did that to us, imagine what Gronk, Cooks etc will do

Re: Game 1 good notes?
 

It's hard to believe, but this was only the 2nd full game of PJ Williams' career. We're essentially starting 2 rookies at CB and 1 at FS.

Re: Game 1 good notes?
 

Don't get me wrong. I'm pullin hard for 3-1, but I just can't get to that place from what I saw last night. I feel like NE and Carolina are as good as Minnesota (or better) and we're going to beat Tom Brady? We're going into Carolina and beating the Panthers?

I will gladly eat a double helping of crow with a side of yard bird if we beat either of those two teams in the next couple weeks. I'll even let Danno prepare it...
