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!

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

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

Not sure how to answer that. I didn't like the zone approach. Far too much room for error with young, inexperienced players. And with the limited time under the new CBA it is difficult to get the communication down enough to run an efficient zone. Man coverage takes advantage of the defender's natural ability. At this point, given the youth, I'd rather see man. But, I can see why Vaccaro called an off day practice. Communication is key in zone. Not recognizing and relaying the correct information can hang your teammate out to dry. I have feeling that Vaccaro experienced a bit of that in the game.

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...

Not to brag, but I'll wager I'm a better cook than most everyone here.
