Actually we have been quite lucky since the first win. The difference in the Lions game is we didn't get bailed out by one of their star players getting hurt, playing against Cutler, or a team pretty much giving us the game by killing themselves by having a sorry RT that holds every other play. We're gonna have to start playing football soon because as we've seen today, Lady Luck won't always show up. We have to do it on our own.

we saw a 5-6 team finish 10-6 and won a playoff game a few years ago. It's only week 8

My take with all major sports and teams I pull for is this when it comes to the midway point:

As long as your at least .500 you still got a good chance to make playoffs. Now you can play your way out of it with anything less at the half way point.

We just have to focus now on our weakness and how to improve them and stay positive. Best ball has to played now and its all about getting hot at the right time. The advantage I see we have is that the NFC is especially bad this year so there alot of teams that gotta improve. Our offense really needs to get down to business and dig deep at this point.

we need to take a step back....name one team that had instant success on season one with a new GM, new coaching staff, new QB, crappy line, a 40yr old WR, a flag football league WR, no-name RB and a 4-3 defense playing 3-4?!

Miami and Atlanta. Granted they didn't have all the intangibles you listed above, but they did have new coaches, new quarterbacks, crappy offensive lines and I doubt their skill position players were hot shit too.

Never give-up. Some people just had higher expectations than others.

4-4 at the bye, I'm not complaining. Got a lot of work to do over the bye, but overall not a bad first 8 games of the new regime.

And just think of this, AT LEAST WE'RE NOT DALLAS!

Why are we worried about what Dallas does at this point? Winning franchises don't worry about what bottom feeders are doing, they go out and take care of the type of weaker teams that owned us today. Sorry, but Dallas sucking right now doesn't erase the fact that we suck too.

Just trying to lighten the mood. Sorry but Dallas out sucks us by a mile.

We're an 8-8 team. I have made peace with that, you should too.

We are who we thought we were an 8-8 team, I totally agree....still love my Skins we'll make some moves and be ready next year. This year is all about pride..

SouperMeister · 10-31-2010, 07:11 PM

I'm certainly not ready to give up, but this is about where we deserve to be at the halfway point. This team will finish in the 7-9 to 9-7 range, depending on the bounces, and will probably be in the hunt for the last playoff spot, but not much more. That's a vast upgrade over 4-12, and I'll gladly take that in Shanny's first year.

MTK · 10-31-2010, 07:14 PM

The Lions are much better than their W/L record. Anyone who watched the game today should be able to see that.

They're still learning how to win. They're a talented bunch, now they just have to put it all together.
