Important saftey tip.......look for the...winky....smiley face

Re: OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.
 

[quote=SBXVII;746697]I totally agree but this thread is a good topic about the next 3 games and how people feel about them.

I'd have more issue's with other threads before I'd have issues with this one.[/quote]

Yeah like fire Haslett Now thread posted like 3 mins after the St. Louis game...? seriously

This thread topic was not just to look ahead but first look back, recognize where we are and where we could possibly going into our second half of the season after we have had a chance to regroup during the bye. Its easily a valid thread.

To say this is a look ahead to next game, well not really like the "Its effing whatever week" thread. Read the opening post.

To the "enjoy our win for a day" before looking ahead. I think enjoying the win is what Ace is doing, being optomistic, looking at our position and the position of the upcoming opponents saying hey we could come out in a strong position looking at this and that...
or should I enjoy the win by building an arguement why Haslett should be fired, why our FO sux because we let Lloyd go or why Devin Thomas is a bust?

Re: OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.
 

I have a good feeling about the Colts game, slightly worried that Forte will run all over us and hope we exact serious revenge on the Lions

Hey in my defense I wasn't advocating for Haslett to be fired, I was simply advocating doing things to ease the transition, like going to a 4-3 look at times (which we have since done). I only put Fire Haslett in the thread title because I'm sure there were people on the board that felt that way. I started that thread as a way to vent over how bad we played on defense against a crappy Rams team.

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;746534]How did I know ACE started this?? ACE take it from a guy who has started multiple stupid threads over the 3 1/2 years I've been here. You gotta tone it down brother. Don't try to be the first to post everything. If it is worth talking about, 90% of the time the thread will be up and running before you log on. Doing this will get you a bad reputation very quickly.[/quote]


Oh grasshopper you have come so far!

Re: OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.
 

Very creative way to start a new thread. Keep up the hard work.

Re: OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.
 

Personally, having squeaked in a win doesn't necessarily makes us dominant enough to predict any winning streak. The way that the NFL is going right now, it is very hard to make any predictions period, teams that were dominant one week sucked the next, and teams that sucked one win, manage a big win the next (see AZ and Oakland).

And once again, as someone said staring a thread just to start a thread is just stupid.

That's crap, we're clearly one of the worst teams in the league... ahh nevermind ;)

SCP is going to be livid once he sees that ranking

Colts can definitely be had. And really it's not about keep Peyton Manning from tossing the ball for three or four hundred yards, let's just keep them out of the end zone like we've been doing. But they definitely have some holes in the secondary with Bullit and Sanders (cut) gone for the year.

Re: OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.
 

so what time on wed. can the new threads be posted?

They play their guts out though...oh wait, wrong season. LOL.

Re: OK guys! 3 more games until the BYE Week.
 

[quote=saden1;746477]Colts is a tough game only because [B]Payton[/B] is on the field. I don't see us winning this game. Bears suck balls...everyone is on their dck. We can beat them. Lions just mauled the Rams. I fear them a lot only because the Redskins have propensity to have let down games against so-so teams.[/quote]

I'm fairly certain Walter won't be on the field.



A few weeks ago, I was scared about the schedule coming up...the Packers, Colts and Bears stretch.

We manhandled the Packers, look at their injury report, and won.

The Colts are looking uncharacteristically beatable. They lost to the Jags and have not looked very convincing in their wins. They're beat up worse than the Packers coming into the Skins game...Addai and his backup Donald Brown could miss the game, leaving Mike Hart to start. Even if Addai goes, he'll be limited. Their defense is missing a lot of key players, mainly in the secondary that is as beat up as Green Bay's.

Chicago went from looking like world-beaters to...well, what we expected from them. Cutler started to come back down to Earth, then was injured. Their running game is effective, but their passing game is nonexistent with Collins in and feast-or-famine with Cutler in, with more famines due. They're one dimensional. Only their defense has been effective. Scoring 13 points could beat them.

The Lions won't beat us this year. Yes, they destroyed the Rams that beat us...but we didn't show up that day, plain and simple. I don't think Coach Shanahan will allow that to happen again after that embarrassment.





If not for the stupid kicker-icing tactic and the rule (or lack of) allowing it...we'd be 4-1.

I expect us to win 2/3 or maybe all 3 of these upcoming games.
