Rocky Mountain was probably saying in so many words he isn't buying into the Saints hype. Nice couple of wins however this team could "trick" people into thinking they are actually any good. Example ...

I remember listening to a LSU fan on the radio call in right after MSU destroyed them in Starksville. He basically said ... "beating us is fools gold. You have a false sense of achievement because the Tigers aren't that good". Long story short, Miss State hasn't won a game since ... getting blown out in the last two weeks

Pyrite? When did we sign him? Jeez it's hard to keep up with that front office!

Isn't a Pyrite a Buccaneer?

9-7 is a possibility. I don't see any higher. I can't be amazingly optimistic after 4 games.

Still too early for predictions. Worried about the O-Line. Also, the D front 4 are not getting the consistent push and hurries I want to see.

But, historically, on the road, we have sucked. So, these back-to-back road games are encouraging.

Thomas is a beast. Looking forward to seeing Snead back. Hope Anzalone and Strief are OK.

All I know is that over the last two weeks this defense has sacked the QB 6 times, two ROAD wins (1 against a divisional opponent) by more than 20 points. The dirty birds don't look like world beaters either.

We get Highland Park (Stafford) in our house on 10/15.

A shut out at this level against any NFL opponent is impressive.

Keep grinding.

Well, based on the trend, they are on their way to 8-8

But seriously, I don't know that one could tell either way. I'm usually a mid-season guy, not a 1/4 of the season guy, and look for games played against contenders.

There are some tough games ahead. The Lions can put up points. The Packers can put up points. The Bills are playing well on both sides of the ball. The Rams all of the sudden think the are the GSoT redux.

We'll see. For now, I am just going to enjoy the win, watch the highlights a couple times, and wait for 10/15.

We are a .500 team. Nothing more. We will know more around game 7.
We beat lions and I say we get 10 wins.

WHODATINCA · 10-01-2017, 11:54 PM

Did you see all the problems with snaps we had today? Except for the interception, the first half was a comedy of errors.

I'll go as far to predict that the final record will be known after the last game of the season!! You can't coach that stuff!!! LOL
