The best we can do? According to SI

CanadianSkin · 08-30-2006, 03:07 PM

Here is a link of the best we can possibly do this year.
SI.com - NFL Preview

I would take a 13-3 record, but this pretty much says we are going to be in tight almost every game we play. Also I would take a loss to another team to beat Dallas twice instead.

MTK · 08-30-2006, 03:11 PM

13-3 would be pretty damn nice

TTOWN SKINS FAN · 08-30-2006, 03:12 PM

Agreed! I would take 12-4 with 2 wins over Dallas and a playoff berth

Mc2guy · 08-30-2006, 03:15 PM

Again, I don't understand the SI logic. We're supposed to believe that the best case scenario involves Campbell starting in week 5 after Brunell leads the team to a 3-1 start?

Last time I checked, most NFL coaches don't bench a starter after going 3-1. They also don't usually consider a qb struggling if he has his team at 3-1...efficient, "not-losing", uninspired...these phrases all come to mind if a team is winning despite the qb position play, but not "struggling." My name isn't King though, so WTF do I know.

I remember a coach by the name of Norv Turner back in the 2000 season that pulled Brad Johnson after 8 games with a 6/2 record (w,l,l,w,w,w), and put in Jeff George to only win 1 out of the next 4 (or 5?)

I never understood that move.

you can thank our owner. that was his move not turner's

CanadianSkin · 08-30-2006, 03:18 PM

Yeah that was the first thing that went through my head too. Why is Brunell struggling if we are 3-1, but maybe it is during that game he is sucking arse and then we put Campbell in... who knows. I also like how he says we put a game plan together for Peyton, but then it does not work cause we lose to him anyway.

But at the end of the day, I do not really care how it is done, but if we end up 13-3 or 12-4, that would be sweet....

Do we still hate this guy? He suddenly seems quite rational.

Yeah, but I'll take him over the other guy any day.

dmek25 · 08-30-2006, 04:51 PM

13 wins would still not be enough for some of the people around here

ArtMonkDrillz · 08-30-2006, 04:53 PM

Hell, 15 wins wouldn't be enough if we didn't end up at least getting to the Super Bowl. I need an excuse to go to Miami this winter!

saden1 · 08-30-2006, 05:30 PM

are these guys talking out of their asses or what? 13 wins? piff...i see us going undefeated!

theJBexperience · 08-31-2006, 10:25 AM

I can't wait for this game. I'm really looking forward to it. I think G-Dub is as well. You know he's going to come with the thunder for this game.
