I'm still of the opinion that anything above six wins, with this defense, should be considered borderline miraculous. With 17 games, 7 playoff teams and the state of the NFC, being at or above. 500 keeps you in the discussion. I'd love one game where the defense rolls. Even if its a fluke, just to see that it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will be a tougher game then Miami that’s for **** sure. He won't play any better than Tua did yesterday. We'll be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said before the season that all I wanted to see was improvement over last year, and we're two wins away from that being reality. Anything after that would be 'gravy'. We're talking about a team that was in financial ruins and had some significant roster turnover. Even if we make the playoffs, I have no delusions that we'd go far. But it's just going to be nice playing meaningful football in November for the first time 4 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not everything posted is serious. By the way, I agree. I only posted that because it was funny when Mora went off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've allowed the 2nd most sacks in the league and don't have anything going for them offensively. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something that this team could not do over the last few seasons. Also...outside of that WFT game. we are closing the games out. Still sour about that one. 4-2 just feels that much sweeter than 3-3. Nevertheless we have a shot next week at a winning record for first time since 2018 I believe. Lions, Niners, Jags, Panthers & Saints twice and then Buccs Cowboys if i recall. We could easily have 5-7 more wins if we play well. I think 9-10 wins gets us in playoffs.

Which is why Matt Rhule said that Darnold will be the starter this coming week. Stryka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
